Mind Games

The Flash Mind Reader is neat. Can anyone figure out how it works?

What would be really mind blowing is if this could be used to see how much my home is really worth?

Check out the symbols for every multiple of 9 - I bet they’re all the same. The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.

I did the calculations moving my curser over the number & the sumbol came up & I thought thats how its done. But then i did it on paper w/o even moving the cursor or looking at the screen. then i looked up the symbol & it showed up again (a different symbol). I asked my wife w/o even telling her about the site & made her look up the symbo & bam there it was.
I dont freakin’ believe it. very cool indeed!

The only differrence here, the flash changes the symbol next to the multiples of 9 every time it reloads.

Almost as good as Lost.

I tricked the game… the two digit number I thought of was “01″ 01 - 1 = 0 … but as the above poster pointed out, for all two digit numbers (that don’t start with zero - HA! didn’t see me coming did you?) the result is the same symbol.
