any comments about how it was solved, would i feel violate the restriction on what information is provided to solve the problem. however, assuming that all who read this have solved it, my comment is that i soolved it entirely nonmathematically but by observation only

Yup, the name does give it away somewhat. After reading the Bill Gates story and seeing the examples, it clicked.
Without the name, it could have been a bear to solve...

After looking at the first set of examples in the Bill Gates story it became obvious after I considered the name. I can see how this could lead to insanity, though, if it didn't dawn on you at first.

It didn't dawn me at first, but a second pass through the article turned on the light bulb hanging over my head.
