rotate the diagram 180 degree and read the numbers

haha, they say a kindergartner can solve this in only a few seconds, an adult will answer this in a several hours, and a professional will never solve this

I don't have experience of parking cars. So i didn't performed shirshasan and hence kept wandering in search of pattern for about 1 hour like. It was like " ye kya tha😵" moment for me.

What are you talking about? The problem is perfectly legitimate.

LOL that was hilarious. I'm going to have to keep that in mind for the future.

I was also trying to think hard. I thought that it could have something to do with decimal points.

I figured out pretty quickly to flip the whole thing upside down. When you do, you see 86, _ _, 88, 89, 90, 91. Therefore, the number that goes in the blank when the diagram is upside down is 87. However, the number 87 flipped 180 degrees is no longer a number, but something that looks more like L8. This is where I got confused; I thought I was trying to solve for the blank spot with the diagram in the default position, as presented.

I agree. Also, the "8" as written in that font has the higher circle smaller than the second circle. The numbers appear correctly as written. When flipped, the numbers are off (the bigger circle is on top of the smaller circle in "8"). Flawed question.

Not if you're looking at the picture from an angle like the picture suggests. Its only perspective

Mahmoud FaragAlla - 5 years, 12 months ago

I was thinking that it would be something like that because cars would look at it the other way when driving in…but I dismissed that possibility because the picture was that way

Jazzy McSnazzy - 5 years, 10 months ago

Loved it. What a troll.

The numbers are readable from the side you enter the park lot from... obvious

87 follows the sequence of the parking space numbers.

I hate stupid problems like this that appear to be about logic and are just caricatures or visual tricks.

I prefer to think of it as lateral thinking. There is a correct and perfectly logical answer, you just have to think in ways you're not used to thinking.

Whitney Clark - 5 years, 5 months ago

I think it's good as it makes us think out side of the box

@Ashish Menon Me too, sometimes, if you can't find the solution, try a new view, kids solve this in seconds for they like to turn around, adults only use the turning as the final hope, and professors never think of such things for they only use mathematics not visualizing.

This test problem is, in fact, an optical illusion; it misleads us into judging the reality from the wrong perspective. The simple truth of this test problem is that the numbers on the parking lot were placed there for the drivers; therefore, the only correct way to look at them is from inside the parking lot. That is the only correct system of coordinates; any other system or point of view leads to errors.

Rotate the pic by 180 degrees and BAM , you're trolled brother. :D

This view makes the problem trivial.

That's the point. Change your point of view, and then you'll have it. Simple.

just rotate the picture 180 degree and will find the ans.

86 (87) 88 89 90 91

Was only easy because it was a parking space and you have to look at it like the driver going in the spot does...

pfft it was upside down HAHAHA

Read the numbers upside down and you'll understand the logic.

The numbers are upside down. It's not 16 06 68 88 _ 98, it's 86 _ 88 89 90 91.

The numbers when turned around arrive in descending order, starting from 91. 91,90,89,88,_,86. Since 87 can't be read reversely, it is the one covered. :D it's quite clever.

upside down BOIIII

If you turn the image upside down, then you will see the numbers 86, ?, 88, 89, 90, 91. Thus, the answer is 87.

Another trick. Rotate the picture upside down(on 180 degrees).

The solutions is simple. We just look a picture and than rotate the picture into 180 degree. Now, we can see the answer.

Rotate the picture, and the number is 87 87 .

Rotate the diagram in the opposite way and you will see

91 , 90 , 89 , 88 , 87 , 86 91,90,89,88,87,86

The Car is parked on

87 87

The car is parked on 87 not 86

You may want to rotate your screen in order to figure that out

I answered it in 5 seconds lol... They say that kindergarten can answer this questions in seconds, adults in 10-15 minutes and professionals-- never... lol

Therefore, think like a kid sometimes.

Whitney Clark - 5 years, 5 months ago

Easy enough. It's a trick of perspective, where you need to look at it from the perspective of the driver. Then it's a simple linear pattern, just going up by 1.

Certainly. This is a simple application of Occam's Razor. Don't most numberings go in order?

Read the number from opposite side.

flip it then you see

How is this logic? This should be put in the creativity section

It's logic because if you look at it from the right angle, then it makes sense. What will the driver see? What possible reason, if any, would numbers have for being out of order like that?

Whitney Clark - 5 years, 5 months ago

logic is always "teaming up" with creativity to figure something out

Parking slots are numbered serially and the same are 86, 87,88.....91 when viewed from the side of entering the vehicle in the slot. The missing number is therefore,87 as the vehicle is parked theron. Hence the answer is 87.

just rotate it 180 degree u will get the answer

Ishaan Panda

seeing the numbers in the reverse (turning the image 180 degrees) we see that from right to left, the numbers are 86, __, 88, 89 90, 91. so we can surely make out the blank

i got this question in whats app it was quiet tricky for me. my 7 year old brother said the answer quickly without thinking.

Numbers that are supposed to be read by a person in a car generally need to be readable in the direction that person is facing when they need to look at it. This is why you need to read it upside-down to find the answer, 87.
