Try to solve this puzzle without searching the Internet. It's not really difficult.

Re: Find the numbers
The article about the puzzle, Can you solve it? The maths problem for 5-year-olds 'stumping' the web is amusing.

Re: Find the numbers
In my training, corners were where lines intersect at right angles. Pies are (normally) sliced through center axes thus forming acute angles at the slice intersections.
