I.Q. TEST: A MIND READING TRICK
The Flash Mind Reader ^ | Unknown | Andy Naughton

Posted on 02/22/2003 2:42:34 PM PST by Knuckle Sandwich Combo

Warning: If you lack math skills, you may end up tearing your hair out over this well-done little trick.

The Flash Mind Reader

(Flash required.)

It really wouldn't be fair getting your solution from the gods of Google then fraudulently posting the answer like you 'figured it out' (as I did with some of my friends), now would it?

Because I had my tinfoil suit on, I was able to beat this diabolical mind-reading site.

Since it posted NINE times, maybe it thought you were giving it a command.

Any two-digit number can be represented as 10x + y where x,y are in the set 0-9. So instructions say to subtract their sum, so this is 10x + y - (x+y) = 10x + y - x - y = 9x
so only possible solutions are multiples of 9. Each time the symbol list refreshes, the 0,9,18,27 ... 99 symbols are identical, which is what displays in the answer.
each refresh shuffles the symbols so as to obscure.
I guess is what is called "casting out Nines"?

10a + b - (a+b) = 9a
The symbol must depend on the 10's digit only.
So what?
