It took me just under 5 minutes 
. When you said that the kiddies got it in a few minutes, I immediately tried to think like a 5 years old, and I used a method that I suspected they would've used. Without that hint, I'm not sure how long it would've taken; I probably would've over-complicated it . Hmm, it just occurred to me....I wonder if that's one reason that Jesus mentioned having "faith like a child"; they don't try to over-think things and make them more complicated than they really are. An adult thinks, "Jesus dying for me? Well, I must need to be really good also. He couldn't possibly be willing to just accept me, and I'm sure that there are loopholes here; perhaps we need to follow a bunch of rules also ". A child thinks, "Wow.... He died for me and He's telling me that I can come to Heaven with Him? That's so nice of Him! I'll take that deal!" .

Be_evergreen: gotta think like a child to solve it, just like Jilly81 said I like the comparison you drew Jilly, we really over think things at times and the solution is right in front of our eyes. Regarding faith, kids really put us to shame sometimes.

I'll keep trying. By the way, my computer programmer brother- this is driving him nuts! He had me send it to him.
Oh, oops. Now it's nearly a half hour later, and I just looked at what you said, Evergreen. I wasn't trying to complain, though I realize that it sounded like I was. I think the whole thing is quite amusing. I'm smiling again now as I think of his frustration.... people without patience are amusing, but he actually solved it pretty fast .
