8/8. not the toughest puzzle I've had today.
Always 0 or an even number... why would that be? JP

It beat Bill Gates, but I managed to crack it when I first saw it years ago. - I'd rather have Gates' money as my clain to fame

The question was a hint to those struggling with the puzzle.

Anyone recognize the song? It was the elevator music version of Red Barchetta - pure blasphemy.

It took me quite some time. I was thinking pure math without regard to the name of the puzzle.
I read the linked article about Gates, then realized math was only part of the solution.

Geez I realized that if someone could get it that fast it must be simple, lol. Took me a couple of minutes after that...

What music? You guys need to stop using IE. No music from Mozilla. There are extensions so that you can open IE (if you really need it) as a tab under Mozilla.
