Surfing Waves

Arrgghh!!! that really spooked me - nice one!

WTF, how does it do it?
EDIT: ooohh i get it

show this to a stoner when they're blazed

I was a little bit tired and a little bit drunk when I saw it, and spent ages trying to trick it by checking the right number then staring at the one to the right, or glancing at the number then closing my eyes till it told me the symbol...!

lol

Yup.....still struggling......off to mow the lawn now and ponder it.

No matter what number you pick, you will always get a multiple of nine, so whatever symbol shows up is associated with the multiples of nine. It's one of those mysterious math tricks, I'm kind of suprised they didn't take it one step further so that your answer would always be nine, no matter what the original number was.

I've just send a couple of arsey complaints to my work from big account customers

Gonna LOVE the reactions in the office tomorrow!!

No, it just chooses the one that you put your mouse over lol

Aye, spot on. I don't think that's the clever bit though. What's clever is the fact that the grid changes - to most, at least at first, inperceivably - so that it makes the participant think that they're in control of the outcome. i.e. the participant thinks that the number they choose determines what symbol will correspond. I like it.

Oh....by the way, inperceivably; apparently that's not a word (nor is unperceivably, unperceptably or inperceptably). How then would you say what I feel inperceivably describes quite aptly??

If the same symbol came up time after time you'd easily sus it.

That it changes does make it look like its guessing.

I had a go and was freaked out! I still don't get how it guess your symbol correctly. I did it 4 times using 11, 55, 84 and 25 and the corresponding symbols for each number were all different - yet it figured them all out correctly without my mouse going anywhere near the symbol.

Explain??????????????????????

Whatever 2 digit number you pick and then subtract from ends up being a value on the 9 times table.

So the only end results are 9, 18, 27,36,45,54,63,72,81, 91

If you look closely ALL of those values have the same symbol at the end.

It switches that symol around every time to make it look like its a new one each time.

11 - (1+1)=9

55 - (5+5) = 45

84 - (8+4) = 72

25 - (2+5) = 18

9, 45, 72 and 18 are all divisible by 9

Whatever number you pick, by taking off the last bit, the answer will always be divisible by 9.

If you look at the game, all the numbers divisble by 9 have the same symbol, but the symbol for those numbers changes each time you play, but whatever it is, it will br the same for all the numbers divisible by 9

duh! thanks guys

I figured out the multiple of 9 thing, but i couldn't understand how it knew which one it was for each symbol, but now you've explained I can see that the symbols on the chart sneakily change each time, even though at a glance the chart makes it look like they are different but static, if you know what i mean!!!

I was too tired to figure it out! (that's my excuse anyway )

There is a trick that say "look at it for 10 second" which makes you disregards the other symbol.

That thing is BRILLIANT!!!!!

A little flare for writing and a bit of thought and you can cause some serious mischief with this!!



Pretty scary too though, this could also be used for very evil deeds! It just shows how easy it is for even joe average (sorry Mr Joe) to commit fraud and the likes!
