A nice 10min diversion.If it took Gates so long, no wonder his software has so many issues....

It took me my entire lunch hour to figure this one out! It's so obvious now that I know what it is.EDIT:There is actually more than one way to solve this puzzle. One is obvious, and the other requires a little thinking.
