    I think it's pretty obvious, but I won't spoil it for anyone else.

    More obvious to a kid than an adult?

    I've seen this before. It's from an admissions test for schools in Hong Kong.

    If anybody is still struggling, don't look at it mathematically.

    It is mathematical!

    It has to be either a trick question, or a mathematical progression of numbers.
    Being a progression, logically you work through the options and pretty quickly it should come up if you think laterally about what's being shown.

    It is a question about not making assumptions about what you are apparently being lead to see.

    I'm surprised it took kids that long. Even my ancient brain saw it straight away! Come on kids - we need you to smarten up to pay our pensions!

    As tips go, that was a fairly big one.

    A progression of numbers, increasing, is mathematical. It's called counting. Counting is maths.

    It's maths.

    Please! The fact it is upside down is he trick, but it's still maths. counting is still maths when it's simple.

    I just did, numerous times, but was foiled by my iPhone flipping it again.

    Just to spite me.

    Don't get it. It's ****ing stupid.

    Don't you do the blow trick?

    Blowing across the screen locks it. It's the short cut to save you having to drag the menu out.
