I was puzzling over this until I saw the clue on Google that pre-school children can solve it very quickly. After that, it only took me a few seconds. It requires a complete change of mind-set.
Thanks. I was stuck until reading this post of yours and then it was obvious.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

I don't get it at all
Do you ever remember 'colouring in' numbers & letters at school when you were bored? i.e. you'd fill in the bits which were fully closed, like the round bit of 'g', or 'a', or 'o'.
The number 8 has two closed bits - one on top, one below.
Look back at the list of numbers, and count the number of closed bits per row.
So, 6666 = 4; because each '6' has one closed loop and there are four of the 6s.
7777 = 0 because there are no closed bits you could colour in.
I would not have got it without the explanation - though I did get the other one circulating which is to identify the number underneath the car in the car parking spaces. With that one, you read from right to left and upside down

Yes, it's changing your mindset so you stop thinking about these as numbers and just look at them as shapes, like a preschooler would.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
It's not its looks that are the problem. It's the fiat mechanical bits.
You'd never guess that I have had a problem with my fiat, would you?
Me, bitter?
My first ever car was a FIAT. That'll be the last one I'll ever buy.:mad:There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Josh lost 2.5lbs this week, his official total now is 2 stone 1.75lbs! His actual total is higher though as we didn't weigh him at the start.
My weigh in is later today.....eek!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

Oh I see! Thank you I don't think I'd have thought of that no matter how long I looked at it! 0 -

I'm getting quite worried about that Verstappen kid. He is certainly an amazing talent, but his whole life seems to have been racing carts/cars. The only thing his dad is famous for is having his car burst into flames in the pits, so he seems to want to live his life through his son.
It's taking pushy parenting to a whole new level. I fell quite sorry for the poor lad, he looked really uncomfortable in the piece the BBC showed before the race, whilst Sainz Jr looked relaxed and entirely at ease.'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
Lovely tradespeople in today. In the main I think I am very lucky with the characters of people who come here.
Dog dog disagrees and is swearing at them in the most vile language imaginable. Kiwi thinks they are great though. As does pink whistley. One of them loves pink whistley so she is helping him with the benevolence of a flattered Queen.0 -

Excellent!
Probably the first time ever I rooted for Ferrari. Good to see a challenge to the Mercedes dominance. Hope it continues through the season.
I never bought an Italian nor French car. My cars - in order of appearance...My first ever car was a FIAT. That'll be the last one I'll ever buy.:mad:
