You're not looking at the whole of the problem. When you see it, you'll go "O! I get it now!" Circle around and have another look at it...daftbeaker wrote:I looked at it again and still don't get it.

Daft: pretend you cannot read or do maths more complex than counting on your fingers.
NB: I cheerfully admit I used the googles to solve this one.

You're looking for the number that is 4 minus the Euler characteristic. We educated fellows might take our time on this type of problems, but at least we have fancy names for everything.
Disclaimer: Anything I say on topics of Politics, Economics, Pychology, History, really anything not concerned with the natural sciences and mathematics and especially topics concerning human behavior and/or thoughts, that is not associated with a proper reference is pure speculation on my part.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."
