Nice twist on an old trick

  

For heavens sake ,bobby !!

... That really annoys me ..  No matter what I did it always got it right .. DAMN !!  

Dare I ask how its done ...   

I wish I knew.     

Okay, I tried 6 times and that damn gopher got it right all 6 times....ALL 6 TIMES! What the hell? Who the hell is that gopher? Friggin' evil gopher....

Thanks bobby....that's cool!

Pretty cool. Got me everytime..

Heh. It's only 50/50 with me.

Ha ha ha then your math was wrong, man.

There's only certain numbers that are possible answers from that. It's one of the oldest math tricks in the book. Go do it again, with 5 different numbers for 5 different solutions. Go through, get the symbol page, and you'll realize that it's the exact same symbol next to all five of your solutions.

Then do it again. While the symbol will change, all five solutions will have the same symbol next to it.

Dumb math trick. (Of course, that doesn't make it any less weird and creepy until you figure it out . . .)

Here is a version of the same, a little less flashy and a bit quicker (not as much button clicking).

For those who want to spoil the fun, here's the solution to the Flash Mind Reader linked above, which works the exact same way as the Magic Gopher.

At any rate, great find, bobby! The gopher made me laugh.
