Title: Spooky Post by: red macca on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:00:21 You sure

I've just done it four times, got four different images and it picked right each time. Explain that, clever bollocks :D Title: Spooky Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:12:26 Yes - but look at the images offered for 9, 18, 27, 36 ad infinitum...they will always be the same. Your number will always be a multiple of 9. Can't be bothered with the proof...but it will be. A 14 year old geek could have (and probably did) make that up.

Your number will always be a multiple of 9. Can't be bothered with the proof...but it will be. A 14 year old geek could have (and probably did) make that up. But that doesn't explain how it picks the correct symbol from the four possibles, does it? Maybe I'm being a bit thick :? Title: Spooky Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:14:12 Like ardiles says.
Every time just look at your number and number 9, the image will be the same. Title: Spooky Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:18:35 you've got 2 digits right. a and b.
As a number they'll be (10a + b), the sum will be (a + b) (10a + b) - (a + b) = 10a + b - a - b = 9a. The number at the end will always be 9 times the first digit. Every 9th picture is the same. Title: Spooky Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:19:55 go gcse maths!
Title: Spooky Post by: BANGKOK RED on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:19:57 Quote from: "land_of_bo" Like ardiles says. Every time just look at your number and number 9, the image will be the same. Righty, the images change for each number every time you start. Title: Spooky Post by: herthab on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:21:53 So I was being thick then :D
Maths was never my strong point! Title: Spooky Post by: BANGKOK RED on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:25:55 Quote from: "herthab" So I was being thick then :D Maths was never my strong point! Not so much the maths side of it. I missed the fact the number 9 symbol changed each time myself. Similar to many card tricks, that's all. Title: Spooky Post by: herthab on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:27:59 You've all spoilt it for me.
Next you'll be telling me that Paul Daniels can't really saw a woman in half! Title: Spooky Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:29:54 I wish he'd saw "the lovely debbie mcgeeeeeeeeeeeee" in half!
