How long will you take?

I'm a programmer and it took me about 6 mins. Angel

When you get it just post how long it took and what the final answer is. I'll post the key to it later Big Grin

2581 = 2

Took me about 8 minutes. Should have taken less since I was double checking against the other numbers for a couple of minutes.

This is so dumb.
000 = 3
0000 = 4
00000 = 5

Does that help anyone?

Okay I just got this in under a minute (if the answer is 2)

So now I'm concerned that I am either a genius or the rain man

If you buy your underwear at K-Mart you're the rainman.

Logically, if it takes a programmer or higher educated person 1 hour, a primary school child 10 minutes.. I'm not sure what comes beneath that for 2 minutes............. Tongue

Upon realisation of why the answer is 2, I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a genius to work it out.

It isn't a complicated math problem.

K-Mart is where the rainman buys his underwear in the movie.
