I’m the oldest here (I think) so should be the last* to speak.

@m_hutley first to get it and provided explanation how he solved it.

@rpkamp got it right and provided explanation how he solved it. It is also the same approach I took to solving it.

@SamA74 has it right and provided explanation how he solved it.

@TechnoBear has it right.

@Gandalf has it right.

Currently there 3, nay 4 different known approaches to the solve.

@m3g4p0p not only has it right, but he is also the only one to write a script to solve it (Python). Very impressive! :+1: :+1:

@Erik_J has it right and has the easiest to understand solve process so far. Looks to be the same method @rpkamp and I used.

…I don’t see the person, who is older
than @John_Betong, on your list. :wonky:

Don’t worry though, he’s so old that he’s
probably forgotten all about the problem. :rofl:

John never gave me an answer. He gave me a link to a solve on the internet.

I think he who asked is the one missing: :rofl:

But the person, who proclaimed that he
was older than that esteemed member
did supply you with one, and might even
have indicated his methodology. :biggrin:

@coothead gave me a correct answer on a completely different site so my Sitepoint super duper secret post reader/poster/updater did not know he gave a correct answer. I will have to manually add him.

@coothead has it right.

Sure he is. Post #27

Can you give us a hint to this elderly person?

It is very difficult, if not impossible, to find
out the age of members on SitePoint. :unhappy:

Some, will suggest that age is just a number,
but I think that is a shortsighted view, as a
person’s age is an important indication of
where they are coming from and also how
much longer they are likely to stay. :biggrin:

Talking about a completely different site,
I noticed that @benanamen’s age is given
as 1016, which makes him 47 years older
than Methuselah. Wow. :innocent:
