AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I was reading it as always having to sum to the top block. So 640 would correct for the bottom layer and 500 for the middle layer.
Yes, but: https://www.cornelsen.de/_Resources/Persistent/9/c/9/8/9c9891d467f61ba9a6181c9ab312f1603ead5194/0001100000220%20Nase%20vorn%20UE%2BKV_Zahlenmauer.pdf
Sorry German, but you can clearly see how this puzzle should work. Cornelsen also publishes the school books. So I agree with OP here. That looks stupid and wrong
I'm not seeing any pattern for 640 to 500 to 840
840=340+500=120+640+80
I'm going to admit that this is plausible but if it is the intention then it's an incredibly stupid and pointless exercise, because:
Then there is no point to a second layer at all and the bricks on the second layer have no relation to the two immediately beneath them.
That still doesn't explain where the 500 comes from, it really only makes sense if you split it into two separate pyramids that both add up to 840.
EDIT: No, actually, I think about it more and it kind of makes sense that each ROW equals the one below and that the bircks touching have no relation.
