Not a bad song.

Neo that problem seems wicked complicated!

[Neobaron]

It really isn't. One of my profs gives little puzzles as extra credit and that is my working through the one for this week.

Everyone around me is convinced the answer is 64 without offering any proof for it, but I think they're cheating.

I guess I just don't have the mind for it then. The conclusion makes the assumption that anyone solving will make determinations about the direction to take their guesses purely on the basis of number of possible outcomes, but taking a direction to narrow the field for the sake of narrowing the field doesn't make the numbers thrown out any less valid considering they fit the criteria if the person guessing uses what are apparently wrong answers to the questions.

The problem is as much about logic as it is math. And neither math or logic involve guesswork. As with most things that involve thought, you start not at the beginning, but at the end.
If you are trying to troubleshoot an IT problem, your first question is "What did you do last? What was your last action? What were you doing right before it stopped working?
In this case, the key is to think about Jone's last question: "If I knew whether or not the second digit was a 1, I could tell you the number of the house." and work backwards.
No quesswork, just pure logic.
