I think it's 0.

Didn't take me long because my number skills are on a par with pre-school children.

Last night, I couldn't come up with anything. So even if my answer is wrong, it's taken a while to get there!

The answer is 2


And it took me 1 minute :-D

The correct answer is 2.

For those that want to know how we arrive at 2.......it's the number of circles in each number......

1001=2
8607=4

Hope you understand that......... :-D
