Re: A challenge for RosAsm

In MASM you would inline the two instructions without the overhead of a
procedure call.

mov eax, 8 ; assumes you don't need to calculate.

To the question you posed about guessing the answer,

mov eax, 64
shr eax, 3

Produces the answer you needed.

Since I know you code in hex, it was a courtesy to provide it for you
in that form.
