How long does it take you to solve this

[Lazy-Ferret]

it sadly took me about 10 seconds, but Suz could not do it, and gave up in the end.

I am useless with numbers so what is the secret, Rick

 

[rustic]

yes and 8080 = 6 then

i'm the same with numbers. I have a dyslexia to maths i'm sure of it. Always have had problems with numbers. Unless my wages are wrong then i'm like Einstein

not really to do with numbers in the true sense as such...

oh and 6095 =3 obvious really...:thumb2

 

[AD Ent]

wtf?

Exactly... so how long did it take for you to see it... I am not sure whether to be happy I could see it so obviously, or sad I am in the same group as pre-school.

hint

0=1, so 0000=4 :nenau

 

[Lazy-Ferret]

wtf?

8888=8.. that's my favourite...:lol

I've seen it and know the trick, but couldn't solve it first time round.
I have a logical mind and only saw them as numbers; nothing else.

 

[R1cho]

last answer is 2, took a while to figure out aswell

 

[Lazy-Ferret]

last answer is 2

more or less straight away like you.

This type of puzzle with numbers makes people look at the maths and the logic, this will make their mind boggle, and they wont find the answer, a young child with no knowledge of maths will be looking at patterns. shapes etc.

Have I hinted enough already...
So. 6= 1 and 9=1

 

[R1cho]

but then again 6666 = 4 aswell :lol

 

[rustic]

9999=4

No ... no marks for this one..
It was already given in the question...:doh

 

[rustic]

but then again 6666 = 4 aswell :lol

Richo.... see me...

You really have to concentrate.
This , was also in the question.:thumbs:thumbs

I dropped out of mathematics at school, so no Bugger all :doh

You could do something with letters, like I am going to bed.


going =3
bed = 3

This makes it more obvious and gets rid of the maths with numbers.

good night =5

You don't need maths for this one see my post above with letters above...
