Rukmini from Hopscotch Nursery also said:
When the differences are all odd, the sums are all odd.
Rukmini then went on to say:
To make the differences even, you need the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8. Then the sums are also even.
Absolutely right - well done to both Oli and Rukmini. What about the order of the numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8 in the ring? Does it matter? I'll leave you all to ponder on that.
