Yeah, wasn't that difficult.

took me a good 15-20 seconds

It took me 4 or 5 minutes before it clicked. I launched into trying to sort the sequence out left to right... until started focusing on the right most bay.

The other puzzle about the girls birthday had me mostly stumped, seen it a couple times and I worked out I was looking for a unique value. But I only got it narrowed down to 2 dates.

Most adults will get stumped on this since they will over think it, and look for a pattern. Kids wont, they will see the obvious thing right in front of them without bias.

Cebu, I failed too. Shami thanks for making me feel less like an idiot.

Looked at this today and got it in an instant. It just didn't compute yesterday lol.

Like many problems, over thinking them can make you fail.
