As its quite clear what everyone was looking for.. lets put a period to this. I fully agree with John Clog says "What most disturbs me about this question is that it is a trick question. Trick questions do not measure a student's knowledge of the subject, they measure the student's ability to avoid being outsmarted by a teacher who is trying to defeat him. The only acceptable use of this kind of question is as part of a learning exercise that will not receive a grade. In that context, it is quite effective. " U all have a great weekend and don't think of 7th or 8th grade Math books brain washing your weekend.. I know my friends in India will definitely find something really funny on "Dr. GOBAR"..

So if the example had been 364, the last digit is still 6! Have a weekend, everybody.
