Thats spooky shit!!!

lamo...
that's freaky shit.. how does it know?
I've done it 6 times with random numbers, and only once did it not get it right (or may be that was me..)

[skelstar]

I thought, after the first one, that I may have put my mouse cursor over the symbol (as you do) and tried again by not doing it. It still got it right. I dont get it.

That process always ends up with a number that's a mulitple of 9. 9 - 18 - 27 etc.
Have a look at the symbols for those numbers and they'll all be the same.

Used to do that trick in the pub with a new box of matches to win pints.

Damn it. Foiled again.

but the symbols vary. It's not always the same symbol..

Only by game. On each single game those numbers will have the same symbol.
Try just flicking through without doing the test. Also note the number, regardless of the symbol when you do do the game.

Or do it on paper.....

but these shots at random, how would it pick those symbols? There's no formula for it..

I'm not sure what you mean. Every time you do that mathematic procedure you will end up with a number that is a mulitple of 9. Try it on paper.

That program just randomly selects a symbol at each new game and allocates it to all muliples of 9.

smoke and mirrors!

I've seen this in varying different forms over the years.

Ahhh... now I get it. Took me a moment to notice that all multiples of 9 have the same symbol. (I was concentrating so hard on my symbol).
But how do you do it with matches?

Ask your mate to buy a new box at the bar. Take a note of the average amount per box.

Get him to do that process by counting the matches, subtracting ect. You can generally guess with accuracy how many are left.

eg. box average = 52. 5+2 = 7. 52 - 7= 45. New box none used. Weight of box... So 45 left in the box. You can guess with pretty good accuracy. Once you've done it a few times you get used to it.

Keewl! Neat trick!
