I even tried picking the same number twice!

It's simple mathematics. They just have done the calculation for every single two digit number and put that same symbol on the only possible answers.

It's a math trick.

You pick a 2-digit number. You add the 2 digits together and then subtract that from your original number. Once you get your answer, you look it up and find its symbol, and the crystal ball tells you what the symbol is.

Well, when you do that trick with any of the numbers in the list, the answer is ALWAYS going to be a number with the symbol of that little horseshoe-thingy with the line underneath. Don't know why it works but it does. The only symbol the crystal ball knows is that horseshoe-thingy.

That's not true.

I picked 80, so 8+0 = 8

80-8 = 72. 72 has a cross symbol and it picked it.

Grooch, the symbols change position every time you re-open up the page. But they will be constant among every possible combination.

Ahhhh! Thank you. :)

I'll be dipped. :)

I know the answer, but I won't spoil it for everyone.

Fanny

Weiner's really good at math
By telling will he incur some wrath?

Weinermr

Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:59 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I wouldn't do that,
People would yell,
The masses would tell me to
Go to hell.

I could tell them,
To show my wit,
But most would send me,
To that thread of sh*t.

Fanny

Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:01 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
ROFL! Dang, he is really good!

Weinermr

Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:03 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
That's very flattering,
But so are you,
So we'll both stay out,
of that thread of poo.

Weinermr

Our Twiggy she posted a puzzle,
Makes some look for liquor to guzzle,
But some know the answer,
Who when asked say, "I can't sir",
I do know, but I'll wear my muzzle.

I must send an apology to Twiggy
By spoiling I've acted like a piggy

Please graciously accept
my sorry for being inept

I can only pray that her answer is "no biggy"

Spy has had a pretty rough day
Her nerves are shot and frayed
So she'd like to now
the answer to how
This ball plays the game that it plays

Email me: SpyGirlTVCH@aol.com

Thanks!

Oh never mind!! I got it!!

Spygirl

And now I see that Crazydog already explained it above. I skimmed and saw Weinermr say "I won't spoil it" so I didn't see that it was already spoiled

Spy's so smart, we all can see
That's why she's getting her Ph.D!

I hope you can feel a little bit better
By figuring out this puzzle to the letter.

Took me about 10 tries of "Oh my heck, how did it do that?" but I figured it out too!!

Weinermr

Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:44 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I haven't seen anyone print the solution,
If they do they'll be put in a correctional institution.

Weinermr

Spy is smart, that's for sure,
And she's often a savior,
Though her career's not in math,
It's in human behavior. (or something like that)

Crazydog's post is a bit cryptic, but after figuring out the answer, you can see that Crazy sorta explains it.

Weinermr

Friday, February 28, 2003 - 05:22 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yes, but there's a pattern....

Twiggyish

Friday, February 28, 2003 - 06:00 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
LOL! It's very good no matter how it's done.

I love a puzzle,
I'll wear a muzzle,
To spoil the game,
It's not the same!

It gives you an answer even if you don't pick a number.
