Hi /sci/

Just made this puzzle, can anyone solve it?

The answer is a natural number.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 3 07:59:19 2012 No.5314592 Is zero a natural number?

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 3 08:22:49 2012 No.5314619 The answer is probably 6. Why? Because the answer is obviously less than 10, and I normally have about ~10% accuracy when guessing numbers under than 10. Take that, science man,

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 3 08:37:49 2012 No.5314658 >>5314654 How is that not a natural number? I wrote it in hex, but it's still a positive integer so it's natural. In decimal, it would be 9894494448401390090.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 3 09:02:04 2012 No.5314689 >>5314680 This is really interesting but I don't understand how to solve it :/

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 3 09:04:49 2012 No.5314691 >>5314689 If you look at the RGB values for each of the big blocks of color, the number "44" appears more than any other.

>>	Osiris Mon Dec 3 10:04:35 2012 No.5314756 The answer is that there is no answer because magic isn't science therefore we conclude that the answer does not exist. Also, 12.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 3 10:37:20 2012 No.5314790 >>5314756 No, you retard, we conclude that the answer cannot be found using the scientific method.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 3 10:42:19 2012 No.5314793 >>5314756 For this to work you must first prove that if something exists then it is science.
