So what is the answer to this difficult and frustrating number puzzle? Well, the answer is: 12.

The secret to solving this puzzle is to look at the arrows. If you add up the numbers individually from the two sets of numbers in two circles pointing towards the lower bubble, you will get the sum of that lower bubble. For example, for the first two sets of numbers: 27 and 99. If you add up those numbers individually and get their sum, you will get 27.

2+7+9+9=27.

If you add up the numbers from the two sets of circles to solve the missing number, this is what you will get: 2+1+3+6=12.

Thus the missing number is: 12.
