A logic puzzle has baffled the internet, but its solution is apparently so simple that a child can solve it in seconds.
The now-viral puzzle comes from a Hong Kong elementary school admission test for six-year-olds, who are required to solve it within 20 seconds.

But it got me.
To: rickmichaels

What screws the Adults is the car is BACKED in, We are thinking it’s NOSE in. Kids don’t look at that detail, they are stuck on the numbers part.

I looked at it and solved it instantly.
Of course, it helps to be dyslexic.

Not even a logic puzzle.
It’s logical to go from left to right sequentially, not flip the page upside down.

Agreed. I was looking for some pattern and couldn’t find one.

Took me about five seconds. But then it was obvious going in there was some sort of trick to it.

Depend on the font.of the number because some can not be flipped up side down....8 have a bigger bottom, 1 has that aerrow tic on the top....
