Think of it analogical to a clock with numberd from 1 to 12. But in this example, we are looking at number 1-30. If 15 is opposite to 30, we can work our way down to find 7 is opposite to 22.
Extensions to this puzzle:
Assume there are 28 points, which number is diametrically opposite to 8?
Asumme there are 25 points, which number is diametrically opposite to 8?
Which question is possible/impossible to solve? Why is that?
What makes a puzzle truly geometric, rather than simply logical?
The wording of a problem can make a puzzle geometric. In our question, the words "equally spaced" and "diametrically" make it geometric. Although it can be solved with logic, but we can see that it is a question relating to geometry.
OK, good!
