You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get that one. I'm definately not mathematically inclined! Simon "This is an equal opportunities airline. The pilot is blind." Sonork ID 100.10024
Don't worry. i would dare to say more people are less "mathematically inclined" than you. And even some too smarter guys are still wondering why the sixth one is "217". :-O :suss: this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

I've had a small bit of my sig that way for some time. Generally, it just contains "---" in order to cleanly separate the sig from the rest of my post in email notifications, but occasionally i'll put in something else... ;)

C'mon. It wasn't hard (i did it in around 10sec though i did use a calculater). Most number problems involve pattern recognition. zhoujun wrote: even some too smarter guys are still wondering Then they aren't that smart are they? bibamus, edamus, cras moriemur

But with money being offered and a time limit in front of an audience, I'm unsure whether I would solve it in twice the time. Regardz Colin J Davies

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.
Yeah, I failed to see it on a first attempt, came back half an hour later and spotted it straight away. Although I have scared people in the past by being about to recite powers of two (yet I can't do times tables to save my life!) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
