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

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

      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!

                I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone - Bjarne Stroustrup The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke! 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.

                      None - darkness is a feature.

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