Let $S=k[x_1,...,x_9]$ be a polynomial ring over field $k$. Set $q_1=(x_1,x_2,x_5,x_6)$, $q_2=(x_1,x_2,x_6,x_7)$, $q_3=(x_2,x_3,x_7,x_8)$, $q_4=(x_1,x_5,x_6,x_7)$, $q_5=(x_1,x_6,x_7,x_8)$, $q_6=(x_2,x_6,x_7,x_8)$, $I=(x_1,..,x_4)$. How to compute $\operatorname{Depth}_I(S/\cap_{i=1}^{6}q_i)$? in general, Is there a way to compute $\operatorname{Depth}_I(S/\cap_{i=1}^{t}q_i)$ when $S=k[x_1,...,x_n]$, $q_i=(x_{i_1},...,x_{i_r})$? Is there any algorithm to compute it (using Macaulay2)?

background:

the common length of the maximal $M$-sequences in $I$ is called the grade of $I$ on $S$-module $M$ denoted by $\operatorname{Depth}_I(M)$.

    $\begingroup$ In order to get people motivated you may want to add answers to the questions like: What is your expectation of the depth? Why is this question interesting to you, or where is this question coming from? If it is just your own curiosity, then I guess mathstackexchange might be a better place for this question. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I just used Macaulay2 to compute it. Macaulay asserts it has Depth = 2. I can post the Macaulay2 code here as an answer if you'd like. (Make sure to load the "Depth" package). $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 9, 2013 at 15:23
