Got it while re-reading the line about the name being significant. What a Great Math Problem. Thanks.

I got it when reading the "Bill Gates" story linked from the puzzle page, which mentioned that "the name is significant".
Mentioning this seems like a clear spoiler to me. Would others agree that the name should never be emphasized, nor should any mention be made of "visual vs analytical" thinking when talking of the puzzle?

I didn't get it! I had to look it up! I'm sorry for being so easily beaten, I've been trying it for about a week and I just couldn't get it, tried with equations and everything...drove me crazy so I looked it up. Now I feel like the most stupid person alive!

The first time I thought I was lucky. Did it two more times to be sure.
My boyfriend spend half an hour trying to solve it. He's a CompE major, and I'm in marketing

About an hour and a half. Got it almost immediately once I stopped thinking about it. Maybe I'd have solved it sooner if I didn't do so much maths...
