2$\begingroup$ Is this original??? I have seen it elsewhere long time ago, it was a classic question for primary schools/ elementary interviews... $\endgroup$– Omega KryptonCommented Oct 10, 2018 at 8:01

1$\begingroup$ If the source I added earlier today is not the one where you originally found it then you need to provide one you think is satisfactory. This link was the earliest I could find on the web (and was linked to by several other online references), although - clearly - the image is derived from a physical paper of some kind that has been scanned in somewhere. Adding this link earlier today saved this question from being closed by some late 'no attribution' votes-to-close. I advise you to add a source, even if you are unable to find the source. $\endgroup$– StivCommented Feb 7, 2023 at 20:09

$\begingroup$ @Stiv, thank you for clarification. The image I think comes from a school test or something like this. I'm not sure. But i'm sure I will not be able to find it's source now. This probably sounds stupid, but I don't want my post/question to contain false information, if the only other option is to close it, then so be it. Meanwhile, I think it must be appropriate for this SE to accept question with unknown authorship and source. $\endgroup$– klm123Commented Feb 8, 2023 at 13:19

If you look at the numbers...
...upside down, they read 86, __, 88, 89, 90, 91. The number that fits this pattern is, of course, 87.
Therefore, the space as the picture is currently viewed should be filled in with
L8.

5$\begingroup$ Just one comment. Everything you said here is true. But you bolded L8 like it is the answer, meanwhile it is not, since the questions asks for a number of the parking slot, not "what is written there?". $\endgroup$– klm123Commented Jun 27, 2014 at 11:16

I believe the most obvious answer is:
There is a usual sequence of numbers, we're just looking at it in the wrong direction. The numbers of the parking spots must be viewed from the outside in, as a driver would see them, which is upside-down from the current view.
The shown numbers are: 86, ??, 88, 89, 90, 91. Therefore the answer is 87.

The number is:
87. Just rotate the image 180 degrees:
