178188 2003-09-26 08:46:00 I been to www.ebaumsworld.com and gone to Magic and some of things they have like determining the number you're thinking of then adding numbers to it and they work out what number you were thikning of.

and theres also this thing where you point to a planet and then it asks you to move and then it elimates planets and they works out which one you were on.

How do they do it...anyone got a link as to how?

178189 2003-09-26 09:33:00 Its not magic
Its simple mathematics and geometry.

The "guess the number" is rather primitive, do it on paper and you wil see that adding the sucessive numbers and and then doing a subtraction will always leave you with the end result.

Because ALL of the cards are different, not just one of them.

178193 2003-09-26 11:18:00 Nvm i cracked it. The change the suits each time. The cards in the first question are completely different from the set of cards in the answer. They just change the cards by changing the suit, so of course your card will be gone from the next round -lol. PoWa (203)
178194 2003-09-26 11:21:00 i think i just ruined ur answer powa..considering my card was still there in the line in the answer....
maybe that was a one off mistake...but honestly it was still there

178195 2003-09-26 11:26:00 uh Chris,

It doesn't even change the image every time you play it :) we all should get the same image, and then when you click the link it'll just load another image (which will also always be the same).

So you can't have been looking at 7 clubs :)

178196 2003-09-26 11:39:00 Ahh i cracked it before I read your post (just now).

Anyway, whats up with this one here (www.ebaumsworld.com)

178197 2003-09-26 11:48:00 Take some time to work them out, PoWa!

Don't just think of one number, think of ALL the numbers, and follow the instructions for each number - basically there are several numbers that will have the same symbol and they all match the secret symbol. The numbers all happen to be multiples of 9, except for 90.

eg 99: 99-9-9 (as in the instructions) = 99-18 = 81. The symbol for 81 will match the secret symbol.
98: 98-9-8 = 98-17 = 81
97: 97-9-7 = 97-16 = 81

12: 12-1-2 = 12-3 = 9
11: 11-1-1 = 11-2 = 9
10: 10-1-0 = 10-1 = 9

The symbol for 9 will be the same as the symbol for 81, as will 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72.
