    4 1 to change the bulb 1 to report it as abuse for no apparent reason. 1 to come up with a light-bulb related pun. and 1 to tell you Leslie already changed it in 2007.

        Actually, it's 5... You missed one... 1 to make a pointless "correction" that doesn't actually add anything to the solution Wait...

          Shouldn't there be a period after the word solution? :-D

              Your suggestion actually adds something to the word solution, you're not playing fair. ;P

                :-D ... but surely the answer is "None - it's a hardware problem." So, how many hardware engineers does it take to change a light bulb.... None... it _could_ be software.

                  Surely you mean 6? You also need one to devise a logic puzzle from this simple task for a future interview question, and one to tell you there is a much easier algorithm using trinary logic. No, make that 7, since we also need someone to devise an algorithm to compute how many people we need.

                    And, don't forget, one to post about in on the Lounge!

My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

                      None, we'll just have them fix it in firmware :)

                      We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

                        The missing period is what makes it pointless.

                            You'd better ask the light bulb first, if it wanted to be changed.
