    Default The older you are the harder this is...apparently

    This took me about 4 minutes, I shall have to try this on some young children.


    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    Hmmm.....it can't be a math problem, because preschool kids wouldn't solve it. Evidently, the pattern is so obvious, the more you try to read into it...the longer it takes to solve.

    I've been staring for about 5 minutes, and see no pattern
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I see the pattern. But I don't want to post the answer or I may give it away...

    Well, that doesn't matter now. The answer is 2.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    Please don't reveal the answer. I should have told people to send PMs to me, too late now! I love to see Grind, with a brain the size of a minor asteroid, getting his knickers in a twist. Maybe he should ask a four year old.

    I WAS RIGHT! the ends justify the means. I also didn't really devote much time to it. (unless damo is also wrong and the answer isn't 2)
