    Default Can you solve it?

    This problem can be solved by Preschoolers in about 5-10 min, a programmer can solve it in one hour and people with higher education, well try it!

    9313 = 1
    7756 = 1
    6855 = 3
    9881 = 5
    8096 = 5
    7111 = 0
    2172 = 0
    6666 = 4
    1111 = 0
    3213 = 0
    7662 = 2
    5531 = 0
    2222 = 0
    7777 = 0
    9999 = 4
    8809 = 6
    0000 = 4
    3333 = 0
    5555 = 0
    8193 = 3
    2581 = ?

    I found a funny forum game that I will share with SRL aswell =)
    No spoiling on this thread. Try to make it without a program.

    Meh kind of dumb... I doub't preschoolers would be able to 'answer' it any faster than anyone else without knowing the rule/logic behind the answer.....

    I swear I saw this posted on these forums like a week ago...
    Or am I going crazy?

    But yeah, it is an interesting puzzle, I agree that preschoolers would not be able to solve it much faster than most people without knowing the rule (although I guess people with higher educations would have a tendency to over-think the problem and miss the answer).
    I had the answer, just not the reason why it was that answer, when I tried to solve it, took me about 20 mins ;o

    It was Really simple, I'd never have gotten it for that reason though.

    Yeah, when I saw that preschoolers were apparently better at solving it, I threw out any notion that there was a specific pattern and just started looking for what say, 6666 had and 7777 didn't have. Eventually got it

    It should be 2. However, if it is correct, it'll need god-like powers to solve this one...

    Hint: The numbers doesn't matter much. It could just as well been letters.
    Hint2: Loops.

    Aint hard. No google or anything. The fact you said preschooler could do it means you think outside the box. Answer is X.
