Since the XXX is derived from the 3 sets of given numbers and the ### is derived from these as well as the XXX, doesn't it follow that the ### is derived soley from the 3 sets of given numbers?

not neccisarily.

Then by "and the given numbers" you must mean more than the specific numbers that were used in the calculation of the corresponding XXX (i.e., some sort of progressive calculation in which numbers other than the corresponding numbers are used to calculate the ###). Otherwise, this doesn't seem to make any sense.

PS - Found some sort of calculation that worked for the 125 of RED125 and the 167 of CAT167, and was utterly heartbroken when it did not work for the 195 of ANT195.

I think I'll take a break.

"74 76 68" are the only given numbers that are used to get the ###. that is all ill say for now.

what were the rules that worked for those 2 numbers? you might be on the right track.
