You thought you have seen everything, right? What about a computer that reads your mind? Sounds far out right, well this site will really blow your mind while it's reading it. Check this out...

I've tried this out 6 times now and so far the computer has been correct 6 times.

Wierd! Did you give em ten smackaroos to find out how it works?

[Bvr01Fvr]

I figured it out how it is done! When you click the button, a different suite of cards are used. The suite is the same color but different. For example, the K of hearts is replaced with the K of diamonds.

right the king of hearts is replaced with the king of diamonds. Whats the connection between that and my jack of clubs missing? Am I missing something or is this a take off on the albino pine cone joke?

[Bvr01Fvr]

The easiest way to figure it out is to write down the cards on a piece of paper. Next...click the button and write the cards again underneath the first set. The cards are completely different and one is missing.

The trick works because your mind is focused on a particular card. None of the cards in the first set are in the second set. But you don't notice this because your mind is focused only on one card.

of course

here' another one for you!

A little bit of algebra explains this 'magic'. Ask a friend to pick 3 consecutive numbers with none greater than 60 (say for example she/he picks 42, 43, 44). Ask her/him to tell you a multiple of 3 that is less than 100 (for example 39). Then ask her to add the four numbers and multiply by 67, not letting you see the numbers of course, and to tell you the last two digits of her answer. Now you can really amaze her by giving the whole answer and the three consecutive numbers used at the start. This is what you do. Your friend gives you a 2 digit number and you double it to get the remaining digits. In this case the calculation is 42+ 43 + 44 + 39 = 168, 168 x 67 = 11256 You are told the last two digits, namely 56, and you can immediately give the whole answer 11256. To get the three consecutive numbers you divide her multiple of 3 by 3 and add 1 (e.g. 13+1=14). Subtract this from the two digit number she has given you and you get the first of the three consecutive numbers in question (e.g. 56 -14 = 42). Explain why this works.

No of course I didn't donate $10 to find out, I was betting someone at TSG would come up with the answer. Good job Bvr01Fvr for cracking it.

[Bvr01Fvr]

It's a pretty good trick. I was thinking for a while that maybe the government had developed a smart computer at Area 51 or something! In fact, that's probably the answer we would have got if we threw ten bucks away!

[GoJoAGoGo]

Now that I know what the trick is, the program is not much use to me.

[Bvr01Fvr]

I'm smarter than the system. I can predict the outcome with 100% accuracy!

I had a game simmilar to that on my Palm. If you look at all the cards, all of them get replaced. You can thank my mom for that one, I had her play with it a while ago.

That's a pretty old trick. Just replace all the cards, lol. Actually, it wasn't right even once for me. I simply didn't choose a card at all and it replaced a nonexistent choice.

hammerbill:

Yes I admit it is a rather simple old trick. Did you try the latest Pyshic Computer game I posted yesterday? It's a bit more tricky, but as always was cracked by one of our TSG sharpshooters, Ratboy.
