Don't ask me, I suck at math. I'm the only person on the face of the earth that keeps her checkbook in pencil!!!

I would answer, "I wouldn't know, I would be so busy doing my job that the beeping sound would be the least of my worries". Or, "I don't know, once the bomb squad arrived, they took control of the situation". Or, "I don't know, it got on my last nerve that I opened the package and removed the batteries". Or, "I don't know, I went on break and never came back, too much darn noise for me".

It was on a job application for a GAS station? Is there a single function that one performs at a GAS station that isn't electronically calculated for them???

My answer would be: "Who cares?".

It will be at 5. You need the smallest number that can be divided by 8, 12 and 10 without leaving a rest. At 4 the 12 and 10 minute device will beep but 60 cannot be divided by 8 without a rest.

Edit: Twisterdog I now saw that we both agree- that makes it a majority decision

LOL this is what I was thinking. I found out more info: This was for an assistant manager postion at a wal-mart owned gas station. I don't see where a manager at a gas station would have to do this kind of math. Maybe its a test to see if people can think lol.
