THIS is an example of bad puzzle design. I hate this so much. A puzzle shouldn’t have four (or more) potential correct answers. The correct answer was the second one.
And in the end, she wouldn’t tell us which one was the right answer, but she did say it was 8 digits and we could use the order as it was written. I was so frustrated.
If you are a European, then the date would be 04121996 not 12041996
in a (bad) asian room they would have asked you to multiply those together and then find the square root
with no pen/paper or calculator
I wish you had room to put in how obnoxious I was.
“Just tell us”
“I can’t”
“Well then just point to it”
“But I can’t”
“Why the **** not????”
UGH! That is the worst.
There are many types of “difficult”, this is difficult because you have to be lucky to get it right, this is likely the worst type of difficult. The best type of difficult is where you have to think to figure it out.
