this is really freaky!

This thing is pretty fucked up...

anyway let me know what you think of it, I kinda see where it's going, but how does it get in your head....I don't have a clue...

Here is my guess. I tried it like...10 times. Sometimes I got a symbol close to the symbol I was staring at.

And then I looked closer. All symbols are used multiple times. I think you are always bound to get the right symbol or the one next to it.

Funny though.

shit....WTF is this Vodoo???


Last night was lloking at discs and both TOOL & Disturbed are really into digits. 10,000 Days & 10,000 Fists. Sams should change to 10,000 bitches.

I know that the symbols are repetitiv but how does it know which one you've picked...

No matter what number you pick, it will always turn out to be a multiple of 9.

For each round, the symbol for each multiple of 9 (e.g., 9, 18, 27, 36, etc.) is the same. So, for round 1, the symbol might be the squiggly water lines. For round 2, it might be the omega sign. So, the symbol changes each round, but whatever symbol it is, it it's the same for each multiple of 9 in that round.

Extremely clever, but still how does it always fall on the symbol you picked...there are still quite a few?

man that was awsome and a little bit wierd.

Like he said, on all the multiple of 9 is the same symbol. Just go thru it without even adding any numbers. Look at the symbol that is on 9. That is the same symbol you will see repeated on every number divisble by 9 (18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, etc).

Why? They have you only picking a two-digit number. Every answer is going to be a multiple of 9.

11 -- 1+1 = 2 / 11-2 = 9
99 -- 9+9 = 18 / 99-18 = 81

Tomorrow I'll teach you how to be a lawyer.

Nicely done.

woo hoo, I do love me some Law and Order!

It doesn't...it missed my symbol entirely 6 times out of 10 attempts...

Just randomized selection of a symbol, and with repeating the same symbols so many times, out of 10 times, eventually it'll land on the one you're looking at.

Just a basic law of averages.

You sure you're doing the math right? Because I KNOW this isn't just a basic law of averages. It's the multiple of 9 thing, like Mighty Mouse said first. And I know this because I spent a whole semester practicing tricks like this to get kids interested and involved with math.

Study the symbol field before it disappears. Why do you think it disappears so fast? To hide their trick.

So either you're not following the instructions, doing the math wrong, doing some other mistake, or lying because it's all simple math concepts.

No, none of the above.

It's magic...

[bueno bob]

I'm not going to go on for hours about the mathmatics about it. What I said I said for simplicity. The major element to take away from my post is that it MISSED my chosen symbol 6 times out of 10 attempts.

There ya have it. Magic! :D

[bueno bob]

If it's working for you guys...great...the directions are simple enough to follow...it's a non-working toss for me 60% of the time.

I'll run another ten attempts on it later on, but I doubt the result will be much different.
