Hm, and I figured because pre-school children can solve it in 5-10 minutes, the answer was "I gotta go potty!"

Well, trying to look at it remembering that pre-schoolers have very little math skill and usually haven't been introduced to the concept of zero... still not seeing it. It's going to be head-smacking simple when someone does explain it. :doh:

If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.

Count the circles.


Well, there's 16 0's, but I don't see how that makes the answer 2.
I did figure it must come down to counting-- that's about the extent of a pre-schooler's math skills.

I finally figured it out after I went back and looked at Webb's clue again. Afterwards I copied it down and gave it to my 13 year old math wiz daughter to solve. It took her 15 minutes without the clue. 0000=4 is what she said did it for her.
