A puzzle
Twiggyish | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:16 pm     I'm not sure where to put this one.. Read the directions carefully and try it: http://mr-31238.mr.valuehost.co.uk/assets/Flash/psychic.swf Be warned, it will drive you crazy! |
Dahli | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:18 pm     okay now that's just freaky! |
Twiggyish | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:20 pm     I even tried picking the same number twice! |
Crazydog | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:35 pm     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. |
Twiggyish | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:38 pm     shhhhhhhhhhh CD! Don't spoil it..LOL |
Fanny | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:43 pm     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. |
Grooch | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:49 pm     That's not true. I picked 80, so 8+0 = 8 80-8 = 72. 72 has a cross symbol and it picked it. |
Bob2112 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:56 pm     <...takes Twiggy's advice to "shhhhhhhhhhh"...> |
Crazydog | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 02:58 pm     Grooch, the symbols change position every time you re-open up the page. But they will be constant among every possible combination. |
Grooch | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:02 pm     Ahhhh! Thank you. |
Fanny | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:05 pm     I'll be dipped. |
Weinermr | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:52 pm     I know the answer, but I won't spoil it for everyone. |
Fanny | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:57 pm     Weiner's really good at math By telling will he incur some wrath? |
Weinermr | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 03:59 pm     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     ROFL! Dang, he is really good! |
Weinermr | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:03 pm     That's very flattering, But so are you, So we'll both stay out, of that thread of poo. |
Weinermr | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:06 pm     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. |
Fanny | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:19 pm     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" |
Spygirl | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:24 pm     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! |
Spygirl | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:28 pm     Oh never mind!! I got it!! |
Spygirl | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:32 pm     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  |
Fanny | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:33 pm     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. |
Mware | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:38 pm     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     I haven't seen anyone print the solution, If they do they'll be put in a correctional institution. |
Weinermr | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:46 pm     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)  |
Spygirl | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:56 pm     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     Yes, but there's a pattern.... |
Twiggyish | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 06:00 pm     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! =) |
Neko | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 05:33 pm     It's only been right twicec with me out of..at least 5. Sooooo..bah to it. Must not have concentrated hard enough ^_^ |
Bob2112 | Saturday, March 01, 2003 - 07:01 pm     <...goes back to check Neko's math...> |
Sunnyone | Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 05:42 am     Neko! It missed at least one of mine too!! |
Mak1 | Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 05:50 am     It gives you an answer even if you don't pick a number.  |
