Dang it Chris, I thought you were gone already. Of course you're right, but you knew that already. Nicely done.

Ummm.... Can we get an explanation of the answer?

Re: Simple math test

Of course you can. Each number in each series represents one of the bars in an LCD display. Each series represents the bars that have to be lit up to make each digit from 1 to 9.

Yeah, it's the fact that it made all the sense in the world to achris before it was explained, that scares me. achris, I'm worried about you man, pretty soon you'll be moving objects with your mind... from there it's a short leap to supreme high overlord of the known universe.
