Underlying logic
I have put the numbers from 1 to 10 in three groups. Tell me, on what basis have I grouped the numbers. I shall give you a clue, but I am not sure if that would be of any help 
CLUE
(1,2,6,10) RED
(4,5,9) BLUE
(3,7,8) GREEN

Re: Underlying logic
Good one ganesh! I was confused for a while.
(1,2,6,10) DOT
(4,5,9) LINE
(3,7,8) SPACE
Don't rely too heavily on that clue, or you'll get very confused.
It's mainly to show ganesh that I know.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Underlying logic
Don't you mean:
(1,2,6,10) ADD
(4,5,9) PLUS
(3,7,8) TOTAL
