Title: Black Magic!
Post by: BigSi on January 14, 2008, 17:53:54
Now I thought this was a trick,. You know the type, stare at the screen till a scary face appears…….no, that’s mine!!! But I assure you it isn’t! It really is quite freaky, no matter how many times you play it, the right symbol will always appear! I thought that I had beat it once, till I realized I couldn’t add!!!  :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

rule of 9 ????

think of any 2 figure number. I choose 18      84      69     37

add 2 nos together and subtract them from original no.

9

72

54

27

now can you see a pattern? if you now add these 2 numbers up they make 9. Each one of those black magic symobols are different each time! However. look at the symbol that comes up and then look at the numbers given that have the same symbol. They all equal 9. So every 2 numbers you think of will always only ever come up with the same symbol.  ;)

Hope I have made that understandable?  :?
