this is really freaky!

Just tried it again, kept a track of my numbers.

Out of ten efforts:

10 complete misses by the computer. Nowhere even close to my symbols. 0% accuracy.

So...I guess I'm the exception that proves the rule...

[bueno bob]

But now I have a headache from looking at all those dumb Satanic symbols...

[bueno bob]

I keep running this, and...I don't know why...I see the trick, yeah, and it SHOULD be working...

Sorry if I sound random...I'm working on this as I type...

Still getting the wrong symbols...hang on, trying something different here...maybe it IS me...




AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

NOW I see...I wasn't doing anything WRONG, per se....

Depressed as it makes me to admit it...








It looks as if I maybe need some glasses.

[bueno bob]

Sorry bout that.

Carry on while I look up an optometrist for tomorrow...

so wait, what the hell was going on?

[bueno bob]

What was going on is that my eyes are fucked and I was picking the wrong symbols for the right numbers...because I guess I don't see up close as well as used to these days.

Sorry...

[bueno bob]

I finally saw that I wasn't picking the right symbols for the numbers once I backed my eyes up from the screen a bit...tried on some reading glasses that were laying around, ran the same numbers and it hit 100% of the time...

So, yes - my bad...but I have "old age" and "encroaching blindness" to blame for it...

[Ally_Kat]

Don't worry. I'm nearsighted and I still need my glasses to look at the computer. It's nothing but trouble when I take these glasses off. And I'm young!
