I got 14. I guessed but the math worked out. let me show you how I got that...   12*4 = 48 + 12 = 60 - Nope                                                                                    13 * 4 =  52 + 13 = 65 - Nope                                                                                  14 * 4 =  56 + 14 = 70.                                                                                            14 = Flute Players :) Hope this Helps....
