password - The Security to the Party [Part 2]


A 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 "5", and the guest replies "5".


The second guest arrives. The security says "6", the guest replies "6".



Your friend walks up to the door and the security says "7" arrives. He replies with "7", and is told to leave.


Another guest arrives, you seem to get the same pattern, security says "1" and he says "2" to get in.


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


You now walk up to security and get "3", what is the correct response?
