It'd be cheating to tell you the answer, but I'll tell you that you should start with the middle two boxes. After you get something from them, everything else falls into place fairly easily.

Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Another Puzzle Needs Help Please!

I'll give you some clues.
Two similar equations tell you that one letter is one higher than another letter because one equation adds 2 things together and the other equations adds 2 things together, but both equations share one of the letters, and the total answer on the right is one bigger in one of the equations.
One equation tells you that one letter is the same as another letter.
Also it is really helpful if you know all the ways to add up to 6.
Here's some examples:
1+1+4=6    1+2+3=6    0+3+3=6  0+4+2=6  0+1+5=6   1+3+2=6  1+4+1=6
That should really, really help!!
