Working in columns, the sum of the numbers in each column is always 14

There are many possibilities for this.

We can hold a breathe, meeting, conversation, party, grudge, etc... but cannot touch them.

In the given puzzle, the logic is the product of the number and its preceeding number gives the result.

9 = 9 x 8 = 72

8 = 8 x 7 = 56

7 = 7 x 6 = 42

6 = 6 x 5 = 30

5 = 5 x 4 = 20

Similarly,

3 = 3 x 2 = 6.
