0 is correct.

Has anyone not worked it out and resisted the urge to google it?

2 3 3 6 6 = ?

...and yet you felt the urge to slight me, as I did, suggesting I thought I was a better than Microsoft and now your son can do it, as being intelligent is a handicap.

Which one is it?

A few points:

I didn't know the answer then, I did end my post with an emoticon which indicated it was a light hearted comment.

I just don't believe you worked it out in ten minutes when Bill Gates couldn't, only you know the answer.

I didn't resort to calling you a wanker.

This is puzzle that sometimes a lower level of intellect helps or at least does not hinder. Overcomplicating things makes you go searching for things in the wrong area.

Which is why a 4yo who can count but hasn't moved on much beyond would have a better chance of working it out than someone who goes off researching Fibonacci sequences.

But why make a sarky comment? I work in an area which is pattern matching, and as far as pattern matchign goes, this is pretty fookin easy. It took me less than a minute, not 10 minutes. I have just read Bill Gates took 90 minutes: does that make him retarded? No, it means he wasn't looking at it as pattern matching, but as a puzzle, which is why it took him so long. Someone else has commented that itg didn't take then much time either, yet he doesn't get the sarcasm, that's the reason you got called a wanker.

Jesus, If you couldn't work it out, that's grand, don't mock people who can.

No sarky comments in general?

I draw the line at straight insults.
