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.
