This problem can be solved by pre-school children in 5-10 minutes, by programmers - in 1 hour, by people with higher
education ... well, check it yourself! :)

Nice! (About 30 seconds, I think. But it could easily have been much longer, and in any case I'm not more than 60% confident I haven't seen it before.)

Delete30 seconds! 30 seconds!! OK, I am in awe. Even the smallest children can't do this in 30 seconds. It took me about 10 minutes to come up with the really bad unsatisfying answer, and I didn't see the answer from the Book until somebody told me.
DeleteWell, as I say it's possible I've seen it before. Regardless, I think I mostly got lucky. I've definitely been very slow about problems of this kind on other occasions.
