I won't bother plugging in all the numbers given in solution #1. I prefer the preschool solution, and the answer is still 2.

Give us a clue what we are doing here?

Each of the 4 numbers equals a value when you add them up. So you know that 7111 = 0 That means the value of 7 = 0 and the value of 1 = 0. the next number is 2172 + 0. That means that the value of 2 is also 0. And so on.......The last # is 2581. 2=0,5=0,8=2 and 5=0. You add these 4 up and you get 2.

The correct answer is 2.
HINT: Preschoolers can NOT add. Think circles.

1 = 0
2 = 0
3 = 0
4 = ??
5 = 0
6 = 1
7 = 0
8 = 3
9 = 1
0 = 1
2581 = 0+0+3+0
The answer is Three

2 was the correct answer.

If you go through and count all the circles in each one that is the correct answer. 8 has 2 cicles 9 has 1 circle etc. Hope you all had fun with this!
