Uhh.. I have no idea but it must be very simple if it is for kindergarden children.. It is easier for a child because we tend to think complex. With the first look, I started to apply maths all around, and it shouldn't have anything to do with maths. Anyway, I wonder what the answer is and the logic behind it Big Smile [:D]

2581 - 2
it's really easy, but it's a logical test to apply to school in Russia (for six-year-olds)

Congratulation, Dew2007! You are accepted to the kindergarten! Big Smile [:D]
Cheers!

It is 2.. so what is the logic behind it?

You shouldn't look at the numbers. Just count the circles - in 2581 there are only two circles in "8".

It's obvious, Neversaynever. You're trying to find the decision in the same way as me were doing: by applying some maths.
Whisper [:-*] That's the wrong way, believe my experience. Big Smile [:D]

So that's it? Circles.. Big Smile [:D] Well, all I can say is now I understand why is that for kindergarden kids.. They don't know numbers, but we do.. so, we look from a total different angle.. When I see some equation, I don't count the circles or something because I know what numbers mean, so I look them as numbers.. (I believe every adult does that, or everyone who knows maths) Stick out tongue [:P] I wonder whether I could have succeed if they have given me that test in that ages.. hehe

God sometimes allows us to feel pain in order for us to appreciate the mere comfort of just being ok.
