[Interesting Times]

99 - 18 = 81
98 - 17 = 81
97 - 16 = 81
96 - 15 = 81
...
90 - 9 = 81
89 - 17 = 72
88 - 16 = 72
...
80 - 8 = 72
79 - 16 = 63
...

Cute.

[Diddle E. Squat]

99
I've been waiting so long
Oh, 99
Where did we go wrong
Oh, 99
I love you

99
I keep breaking your heart
Oh, 99
How can we be apart
Oh, 99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know I love you 99

99
You keep holding my hand
Oh, 99
They don't know who I am

99
I can't take it no more
Oh, 99
Oh we were so sure
Oh, 99
I love you

Yeah? So how does it "know" whether you'll pick 81, or 72, or 63, etc.?

They all are using the same symbol, so pick any you want!

It doesn't.

The same symbol is used for all multiples of 9.

Math tricks don't impress me. I like this card trick a lot better:

http://www.cardtrick.net/

It uses subconscious psychokinetic modelling to deduce, from very subtle nuances in the movement of your cursor, which card you are looking at. It's not 100% accurate, but very close.

That stuff on your hands? It's too much time!

You don’t know the half of it!

I’m just killing time until “I’m a Celebrity! Get Me Out Of Here” comes on.

[deaconblues]

That ranks right up there with The Infamous Internet card Trick

[Cultural Jihad]

Or more precisely, all the symbols which are multiples of 9 are always the same: Hence 9-18-27-36-45-54-63-72-81 always have the same symbol, but the symbol keeps changing between sessions, giving the illusion of prescience.

Can anyone identify the .wav file used in the click-event? It sounds like a Star Trek transporter.

Try this one:


Pick a number between one and nine.

 

Multiply that number by 9.



Add the two digits of your number together to get one answer.



Subtract 5 from your number:



Choose a corresponding letter to go with your new number:
(example: A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 etc...)



Select a country that begins with your chosen letter.
(example: I = Italy)



Select a country that begins with the SECOND letter of the country you chose
(example: T = Turtle)



Now think of the color of that animal.

Oops, the site I got the questions from messed it up. Ignore my last post. It should read like this:

Pick a number between one and nine.

 

Multiply that number by 9.

Subtract 5 from your number:



Choose a corresponding letter to go with your new number:
(example: A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 etc...)

Select an animal that begins with the SECOND letter of the country you chose
(example: T = Turtle)



Now think of the color of that animal.

Ping to me for some fun tomorrow.

[LibKill]

That is what you get for consorting with SATAN!!! :)

The previous posts explain how it was done. The fact is that this is the internet version of 'three card monte'.

Thank your lucky stars that they did not get your credit card number.

They didn't get your credit card number, did they? Please tell me they didn't!

I got a brown echidna from Djibouti...

[Keeper of the Turf]

It worked the first two times, but then I did 86 and 47, and both where wrong

[Keeper of the Turf]

Never mind. I got it.

[bobsatwork]

Yep. You got it nailed. Very clever presentation though.
