    I love it when that happens.

    It's a great programme. Immensely satisfying to beat them to the solution.

    The smaller versions of this are used as psychological tests, they are a reliable predictor of inhibition because often the solution involves making moves that seem counter-intuitive. People who lack inhibition, including patients with violent mental disorders, are unable to stop themselves making seemingly more obvious but incorrect moves. Interesting eh.
    This is an elaborate ruse to hide the fact that I am cr@p at maths so I didn't know the answer.
