Re: [Phys-l] Mind reading software!



BRAVO! Entirely correct!
And if they had simply included the number 0 among the multiples of 9
(all having the same symbol) it would also work for the numbers 00
through 09.

| The way the numbers work out, your answer HAS to be a multiple of 9.
Simple

a
| multiple of 9 is the same; 9, 18, 27, and so on. So, no matter what
multiple
| you 'choose', the symbol is the same every time. When you try it
again, the

| Here is a very clever thought provoker!

| Go to http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/mindread/psychicSparkle2.swf
| and let this program read your mind!
|
| Can you figure out how it's done?
| Have fun!
