    Answer: The responding player says a number less by 168 than the number said by the 1st player.

    Proof:

    745 - 577 = 233 - 65

    168 = 168

    Jerome subtracts 168 from whatever Marcus says.

    subtracted 577 from 745 and got 168

    subtracted 65 from 233 and got 168

    since the difference between the numbers was 168 in both cases, it's reasonable to assume the rule is to subtract 168 from the first number to get the second number.

    Well, since the rule is called a "subtraction rule", that leads me to believe it has something to do with subtraction. I mean, call it a wild hunch of mine!

    745 minus 577 is 168.

    233 minus 65 is also 168.

    So it looks like that's the expected pattern. When Marcus says a number, then Jerome replies with a number that's 168 less than whatever Marcus called.

    Its a simple pattern. 745-577 = 168. 233-65 = 168. 168 is being subtracted.

    The second person has to subtract 168 from whatever the first person says.

    745-577 = 168

    233-65 = 168

    745-577=168 and 233-65=168

    both numbers are 168 apart
