Understanding The Symbol Doors

Each of the symbols around the door is an animal and a number is associated with it starting from the left and going all the way to the right in the following order,

• 0 for Furry Creature.
• 1 for Unicorn.
• 2 for Strange Goat.
• 3 for Three-headed Snake.
• 4 for Weird Owl.
• 5 for Sad Spider.
• 6 for Lizard.
• 7 for One-eyed Squid.
• 8 for Spider.
• 9 for Hydra.

This puzzle is not about some animal combination but about math.

• You need to find the missing numbers in the vertices of the triangles. The 3 numbers at the vertices will add up to make the number in the middle.
• Add those numbers that are given in the vertex.
• Subtract the sum from the number in the middle of the triangle.
• Repeat this process for both triangles.
• After calculating the missing number, compare it with the number associated with the animals shown around the door.
• Choose the appropriate animal combination on the dials beside the door.
