Gene's Crystal Balls
Ok, this was spooky until Gene examined the balls and discovered that it's all a FAKE! They can't actually read our minds! Gahassp! Mike and I were sooo disappointed at the loss of this little bit of magic in our lives. The ONE thing I did not have figured out in my life...RUINED! the one thing, yeah right.
So, if you get it, tell us. Leave a comment and RUIN THE MAGIC! It's kinda fun.
Happy Birthday, Mark! I imagine your birthday celebrations are heating up about now. Have a good year! Ya know we luvya! (mike and aich, that is, probably Gene too.)

Thanks guys. I'm touched.
Yes, Mark, we love you!
I guess no one's figured it out yet...heh heh.
by crikey i just...i just...for the life of me...
i think i'm one of those suckers for cool stuff like magic. i really don't have the kind of brain required to figure it out, heck it was even challenging for me to get as far as adding and subtracting the numbers. why do they have to get so complicated?
Hey, Mike, Ambie and I were happy to accept it as magic, but ph no, not Gene. He sat there and we did it over and over again and he GOT IT! Yeah, he's kinda one of those brains.
so... how does it work? i did it a few times & for me, it has about a 20% success rate, so either way, the 'magic' seems a little dubious.
Uhh, yeah, I was actually being sarcastic about the magic being ruined...I was trying it over and again to try to figure it out too.
But I think for Mike he really wanted to believe there was a hidden camera or something...
Yeah, this is one of those things that my Mom and Masa will have figured out before they even try it, and I'll be there marveling, muttering, "The computer knows my thoughts! The End is nigh!"
There are certain numbers that your answer will always be, like 18, 27, etc. So the program just assigned all those numbers with the symbol, and makes it look random.
Here's a neat trick: Get your friends to do it, and YOU predict their symbol but just looking at what the symbol the number 18 has. Foolproof.
Well, nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Joe.
Any multiple of nine...
I like the symbol they chose.
I found that if you chose 0 then the odds of them getting your symbol right was quite lower than say the figure 9.
the zero gave it away for me, the symbol for zero never changes but the I think most of the other figures that you come up with are always the same.
That was pretty fun trying it out, I’m not math guy but it would be cool to understand the concept of how to figure it out.
hahaha
i wasn't smart enough to figure it out. But how could it not be fake, anyway: doubleunspeakable.blogspot.com
i tried it twice and both times it gave me the wrong symbol.
i figured it out after a few times, pretty clever stuff.
