Interesting - now the link that HM provided is broken. That wasn't one of us, I hope, got frustrated and broke it.

That is odd.

Now it's working again. Maybe too much traffic generated by the Cellar?

UT's link is the better one.

HM's included an interesting article about Bill Gates as a boy.

Yes, also interesting is the revelation as to why he had difficulty with the game..

I tried it for about 5 minutes then gave up on it.

I know I am missing something big.

bluecuracao 06-28-2007 06:39 PM

I got it in 5 tries, took a couple of minutes.

I encountered this puzzle a couple of years ago and at the time I figured it out in less than a minute.

lumberjim 06-28-2007 06:41 PM

but just now...i looked at it and immediately figured it out.

Damn, this is depressing...I just keep rolling and just keep not getting it right.

Don't worry, case. You'll likely get it in due time. If you are really stuck, check Undertoad's hint:

Quote:

Anyone who hasn't gotten the puzzle yet, it doesn't really speak to your intelligence. Go back to it, I swear this is useful. Imagine that the question in the puzzle is being asked of you by a four-year-old child. If you still don't get it, LOOK AWAY from the puzzle. Stop, and imagine a four-year-old looking at the puzzle and asking you the question. Why would a four-year-old ask that question? Picture the kid asking you the question. Is it a boy or a girl? Why would they ask that question? Imagine what the question would mean if you were four and didn't know that the dots represented numbers.
Of course it's only easy for me to say this so casually because I finally solved it after lots of time and tries. Oh, hey, with this puzzle that just proves how brilliant I am! :D

Hey, now I feel smarter. It took me over half an hour!

It is irritatingly simple.

DucksNuts 06-28-2007 08:37 PM

I was ready to smash the friggen thing. The second link makes it heaps easier.
