He’s a genius!
The answer to last week’s brainteaser is 24. As of press time,
ME senior Huiliang Lui, ME junior Timothy Black (who also got the last
Genius Corner right), ME junior Joshua Bishop-Moser, EECS graduate student
Erwin Lau and EECS senior Cho Mon Kyaw got it right. But CEE senior Brian
Yangyuen sent the correct answer first. Congrats Brian! Thanks everyone
for submitting an answer. Stay tuned for next week’s brainteaser.
