Math magic..

[JohnnyRingo]

I can usally figure these things out, but I got an early start on the meds today.

I'm perplexed because the symbol is different each time....how is this prearranged ?

1. Ok...I went back, now I know

But I'm not tellin'

2. Without even playing

I know the answer...I've done this before :hi:

3. Because every number you choose

will end up, after you do the math, as a multiple of nine. All the multioples of nine have the same symbol, thus the crystal ball always knows what to show.

5. You're right...I noticed that it changed the symbols on the chart

on subsequent visits.

It took me awhile to figure that out....I think I better shut the computer off and go outside and do something, it's a nice day.

8. Boo - you ruined it for everyone else.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Sorry!

The original poster asked for the explanation....so thus I gave it. :-)

But sorry to ruin your fun.

4. Someone ought to politicize the trick

Make it a CIA Intelligence analysis device...

Replace the symbol with "WMD" or similar...
