    1+12
    2+11

    What two things make these sums exactly the same? One of them is easy of course!

    Meant to say apart from the fact they add up to 13! That wasn't the easy one. It's been a long day.

    Yes that's the easier one - they use the same numbers (so both add up to 4). What's the other one?

    The numbers on the left of the + are ascending by one and the numbers on the right of the + are descending by one

    No more lateral thinking than that - try writing them out in full.......
