pattern - The Security to the Party [Part 24]


A never ending party is being held at a local mansion. The host is very rich and his success is because of one thing — his famous recipe for Spaghetti!


The only guests that may attend are people who correctly reply to the guard at the door.


Here's where you come in. You and a friend are trying to steal this recipe. You sneak by and listen to the passwords.



The first guest arrives. The security says "1 and 1", and the guest replies "1".


The second guest arrives. The security says "2 and 2", the guest replies "2".


The third guest arrives. The security says "3 and 3", the guest replies "3".


Your friend thinks he's got it all figured out, he thought that it was a crappy logical problem and at last he would have a glimpse of the hidden recipe so he walks up to the door and the security says "4 and 4". He was very confident and whispered that at last he will not be terminated which happened in the previous episodes, the security heard him and changed the question to "4 and 7". Your friend was devastated and he knew what would happen so he grabbed a pill that he hid in his pocket and he ate it and died.


Another guest arrives, you seem to get the same pattern, security says "1 and 7" and he says "7" to get in.


Another guest arrives, you seem to get the same pattern, security says "8 and 3" and he says "8" to get in.


You now walk up to security and get "4 and 7", what is the correct response?


hint(worthless hint but still accurate):



Another guest arrives, you seem to get the same pattern, security says "4 and 4" and he says "4" to get in.




hint2



Another guest arrives, you seem to get the same pattern, security says "0 and 1" and he says "0" to get in.



hint3



This is another problem that doesn't include computations in it



hint4




You need to merge the numbers but not in the mathematical way or not in a number words, just the number itself



final and a giveaway hint



analog



i think this one is an easy one since that it was already used in the previous versions



Answer



The answer is




9



Explanation



Overwrite number on each other in 7 segment display
Write 8 over 3 to get 8
