Eight Assuming the broken segments represent zero, the continuous one represents one, from bottom to top they represent the binary numbers: 001 = 1 011 = 3 110 = 6 100 = 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Four Assuming the broken segments represent zero, the continuous one represents one, from bottom to top they represent the binary numbers: 001 = 1 011 = 3 110 = 6 100 = 4 Correction : Four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EventHorizon Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 It's binary. Read the lines from the bottom up. If there is one solid line, that is a 1. Otherwise it is a 0. So 100 = 4 in binary. So my answer is 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'd say 4. Based on it looks like a binary system where a solid line is 1 and a dashed line is a zero, going top to bottom instead of right to left. so the answer is 100 or 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Treat it like a binary system broken line = 0, continuous line = 1 top line = 1, middle line = 2, and bottom line = 4 1st: 0*1 + 1*2 + 1*4 = 6 2nd: 1*1 + 0*2 + 0*4 = 1 3rd: 1*1 + 1*2 + 0*4 = 3 4th: 0*1 + 0*2 + 1* 4 = 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 nice puzzle took me bout 10 mins lol i was well excited when i figured it out ___ ___ =0 _______ at top=1 _______ at middle=2 _______ at bottom=4 so answer is 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Its a 4...if you consider binary numbers...solid lines are 1 dashed lines are 0...so 100=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) nice puzzle took me bout 10 mins lol i was well excited when i figured it out Nothing like the feeling of finding out an answer yourself after working on it admittedly I do have to peek sometimes because i get impatient, but on this one i didn't!
