Can you solve that problem?

Took me about 3 minutes. There is a great "eureka!" feeling brought by throwing away assumptions and see it! Very funny fun! :D

I approached it like a code where certain digits on the right had a certain value, then just added up those values, using logic to find the pattern of which digits had what values.

I think I see the answer - SPOILER ALERT:


The numbers to the right represent the number of circles/zeros in the numbers on the left

Totally didn't notice the digits I assigned values to corresponded to the digits with circles in them!

Same here.

From the pre-school hint, I figured it was some visual property of the numbers. The number to the right of the equals sign is the number of loops in the 4 digits. It took me less than 10 but more than 5 minutes. Apparently, I am ready for kindergarten.

I'm ready to go back to preschool! It took me like 20 minutes!!!
