The 20 second puzzle

Featured Replies

Not new, but I don't think it's been posted before.

All you have to do is work out the number of the space where the car is parked.

Please don't post the solution, just how long it took you to arrive at it. Mine was about 30 seconds, apparently most 6 year olds take about 10 sad.png

EDIT Spoiler added so you can check if you are correct.

87

"I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

Took me less than a second, and that while I was eating my cereal at the same time.

Of course since the answer isn't known, who knows if my solution is correctwhistling.gif

Immediate - took me longer to realise why it would be difficult.

From the angle I was looking at it, it seemed impossible to come up with a solution.

When I looked at it from a different angle, it was instantly obvious!

Didn't get it till I checked the answer and then it still took a few seconds to realize the obvious blink.png

Geez! I am getting old sad.png

4 seconds.

.... but I am one of the world's worst reversers.... so I have that manoeuvre whenever I can thumbsup.gif

Took me 87 seconds.

(Sorry Crossy)

I'd say 87 because if you turn it up the other way the numbers are in order.

Indeed, but did you read the 3rd line of the OP?

Sorry mate, do a quick edit please I missed the 3rd line.

Its Friday night sorry.

Took about 20 seconds.

My "problem" was that I looked at the riddle too complex. I was looking at the 6 and carried it over to the next spot and then back and was trying to figure out a pattern for the 8's. Even used division, addition, substraction. So, after all that, I am actually quite proud with "only" 20 seconds :)

No worries krisb, it lasted all day.

Tried it on paper in the office with our engineers, only one got it immediately (the youngest, he looks about 15), everybody else threatened to lynch me when shown the solution.

"I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

I obviously don't have vertical dyslexia as it took me a long time to figure out!
