If 9999 = 4, 8888 = 8, 1816 = 6, 1212 = 0, then 1919 =

What word has the most letters in it?

 

I have hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, so I can´t think about that question.  

 

Just kidding.....

A very nice to think outside of the box riddle.

I thought first it´s about math....but no, I think it isn´t.

At my opinion it´s about the shape of the numbers.

When every circle counts, the right answer should be 2.     

Thx for that one....

How does 1816= 6 under your figuring, xMOx?

[xMOx]

Oh....seems that I should had a closer look at this.

But it work for the others, don´t understand how it can be solved?

It´s a though nut....

 "If 9999 = 4, 8888 = 8, 1816 = 6, 1212 = 0, then 1919 =?"
The answer is 4.

The reasoning is as follows:
For 9999, there are 4 closed regions (consider the top part of the digit 9) and no other digits, so 9999=4
For 8888, there are 8 closed regions (consider the top part and the bottom part of the digit 8) and no other digits, so 8888=8
For 1816, there are 3 closed regions (2 of the digit 8 and 1 of the digit 6) and 2 other digits, so 1816=3*2=6
For 1212, there are 0 closed regions (digits 1 and 2 do not have closed regions) and 4 other digits, so 1212=0*4=0

Use same calculation for 1919, there are 2 closed regions (digit 9) and 2 other digits, so 1919=2*2=4

Given a number N, f(N) is defined as follows:
Count the number of closed regions for each digit of N, and get total T.
If every digit has closed regions, then f(N)=T
Else if R digits do not have closed regions, then f(N)=T*R
So f(9999)=4 and f(8888)=8 and f(1816)=6 and f(1212)=0 and f(1919)=4.

Of course, there will be other ways to get other answers.

Actually, Bruce, I believe it's Jagan's turn... but in answer to your contribution, I do believe the answer would be a chess pawn...
