| Feb 24, 2015 at 21:21 | comment | added | Engineer Toast | @dmg I agree that this method is completely valid and not one that I expected. I quoted "original method" from your comment on Feb 9. I had presumed you were talking about the accepted answer. Side note: There is no 4 on purpose because some people write 4 with an open top like an upside-down lowercase h. I didn't want the ambiguity in case someone had their fonts set to that kind of 4. | |

@EngineerToast What does "the original method" mean? This solution is as valid as the other one, despite not working for 4s as 4s are not in the problem statement. As far as we are concerned 4 might mean a 4.

| Feb 12, 2015 at 13:25 | comment | added | The Dragonista | @dmg Exactly!!! :P :) | |
| Feb 9, 2015 at 14:41 | comment | added | dmg | @Ditto But no one cares as it is not in the problem statement. Technically even with the original method, you could not be certain as 8, 6 and 9 have circle(ish) parts, while 4 is more like a triangular. | |
| Feb 9, 2015 at 14:24 | comment | added | Ditto | Ironically, using this method, we still have no idea what value: 4444 would be ;) lol | |
| Feb 9, 2015 at 14:05 | comment | added | dmg | +1 for a purely mathematical not-outside-the-box answer. | |
| Feb 9, 2015 at 14:05 | comment | added | Engineer Toast | Excellent mathematical solution. This is the adult-level answer. | |
