A special coding is used to compress 4-digits numbers into one. Can you crack it by giving the value for the last number (in red)?
8809 = 6 |
5555 = 0 |
7111 = 0 |
8193 = 3 |
2172 = 0 |
8096 = 5 |
6666 = 4 |
1012 = 1 |
1111 = 0 |
7777 = 0 |
3213 = 0 |
9999 = 4 |
7662 = 2 |
7756 = 1 |
9313 = 1 |
6855 = 3 |
0000 = 4 |
9881 = 5 |
2222 = 0 |
5531 = 0 |
3333 = 0 |
2581 = ? |
OK, it's time now to publish the right (and official) answer for this strange coding puzzle. Answer is 2
Well, this quiz can be seen as both the most complex and the most simple quiz ! All depends on how our brain is tuned... For example there are very skilled engineers who are still trying to put complex equations to (try) to crack the coding and then we have schoolchildren who see the answer in few seconds... Here the answer for 2581 is just 2. The "decoding" is ultra simple: just count the number of close loops in the numbers. 0, 6, P have one close loop, 8 has 2 loops and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 have no loops at all. One can hesitate with 4 because it can be written with a close or open loop... But notice in our quiz here, 4 never appears...
Big applause for our 4 first winners:
