Anyone care to explain how it works?

Thansk Bazz - I have something similar a while back.

If you work out all the possibilities (1+1, 1+2 and so forth) and follow them through each step, then when the symbol page comes up you will notice that all the possible answers have the same symbol next to them, the answer is always going to be one of only a few numbers so its easy for them to always keep the same symbol next to them.

I tried it six times and it was correct on all six occasions so I don't think that is the case?

This however does baffle me, can anybody please explain this?


Here is a maths trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country. ..

1. Grab a calculator. (You won't be able to do this one in your head) 2. Key in the first three digits of your home phone number (NOT the area
code)
3 Multiply by 8
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last 3 digits of your phone number 7. Add the last 3 digits of your phone number again.
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide number by 2


Do you recognize the answer?

Freaky...............

That's exactly how it works. With the equation they have you do, there are only so many possible outcomes. They change the symbols around, but ALL of the possible outcomes have the same symbol, making you THINK it's different every time.

I presume you were supposed to come up with your phone number as the answer? Well it didn't.

Paul, of the six passes I did it only came up with the sames symbol on two occasions, the others were a different symbol so six attempts produced four different (correct) symbols.

Yes it is - I can't believe it didn't work for you, I have tried sooo many different peoples numbers and it worked every time, does Ireland have a different system? (number of digits is different - thanks Paul[y])

Thats because they keep changing the symbol, each time you click try again it mixes the symbols up, but whatever 2 numbers you use the symbol on that "go" will be the always be the same.

Barry - EVERY time you look at the chart, look at what sumbols are next to the 9 times table. You'll see they all match

The chart changes every time, but the 9, 18, 27, etc ALWAYS match.



(Neil - Remember that HL's phone number is a Southern Irish one... Number of digits...?)

Doh, right now I have it, must be that fruit and rice cake diet muddling my brain, or maybe it's just Monday morning.

Yeah! We still use tin cans and pieces of string.

I have five digits in my number
