Try to guess
This is simple question, asked to Russian children when they enter school.
188 | 4 232 | 0 100 | 2 163 | 1 --------- 386 | ? Guess number and explain why you have chosen it.

Re: Try to guess
I would guess 5,7, or 9. I'm not sure. But those numbers haven't appeared yet. I feel like 5 would feel natural, but I am not sure.
Or maybe I am wrong. I think maybe it could also be confined to numbers that have appeared already... but it can't be numbers that are in the three digit number. So it could logically be a 0,1,2, or 4. Or maybe it is a 4. I think 4. Maybe. It could be like a repeating number.. or perhaps it could be a 2 because it would be a pallindrome... Well.. those are my thoughts. A bit vague...

It's 7, isn't it?

Re: Try to guess
Ok, I'll just quote what Whiteruthenian wrote to me. His answer is correct.

Re: Try to guess
Hehehe, nice. I was too busy looking for a mathematical or pattern-like solution.

Re: Try to guess
Argh! I don't write 8 with circles. How could I have guessed?
 Anyway, it looks like a particular way to look at things probably culture-related. Or, well.. this is the best excuse that I can come out with after I sent svin the wrong answer via rep. comment. Basically I too was looking for a mathematical patten or combination. Since I couldn't find any relation and since this was a "basic school entry" test, I imagined that they might be up to something else and that there was no relation whatsoever.

Re: Try to guess
That's impressive. I too like the others was trying to come up with mathematical ways to answer it, even though I am terrible with mathematics.

Re: Try to guess
Ha! I couldn't enter this Russian school I've been thinking of for years.
