Title: Missing number
Post by: Maik on Sunday, 07 September, 2014 @ 00:30:37: Elementary, my dear Watson...

Allegedly, this question was in an admissions test for an elementary school in Hong Kong:

So, what's the parking space number hidden by the car?

As it says at the bottom, you've got 20 seconds to figure it out... and the clock's ticking.

Feel free to post a number but let's not give the game away too soon.
