It asked me, "how many wheels are on my car? " The correct answer is ............................... six. Four on the ground, 1 in the trunk and one by the front seat. Perhaps rephrase so not to be so ambiguous?

It will take 4 or 5 as an answer if you count the spare. Dunno where your sixth wheel is, but I sure don't have one.

The Force! Isn't that how everyone does? :D

I guess six should be included as an acceptable answer.

And Matt went way out on the limb to add 5 as an acceptable answer just to appease us engineers that would logically count the spare tire. Thus far it has been quite effective in cutting down on the spam.

About a month ago we were under a full on attack from the spam-bots and it took me a good 5 hours to purge and ban them.

A true engineer would have counted all the wheels. ;-)
