Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2005OTP: how does this work?
ok, now this is too weird. can someone smarter than me explain how this is done?? diane http://www.dslextreme.com/users/exstatica/psychic.swf That is so cool. I don't know what the theory behind it is, but can't wait to figure it out. However it works, there are only certain numbers which can be answers, and they all have the same symbol. Interesting.

My husband stood over my shoulder and did the math -- I clicked the mouse and it still worked. Even if I concentrated on a different shape, his would show! We both tried doing different numbers at the same time and it would show the picture of the person clicking the mouse but you had to do the math! If we just concentrated on a shape, no match!

You will note the symbol for those is always the same. To keep you from seeing it, the symbols shift around but those always match each other.

No. But it is wrong more than it is correct. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Not for me. It got it every time. Freaky!

We're all in this together." Red Green Its a math formula. pick any 2 digit number....add the two digits together and subtract from the original 2 digit number and you will always get a number divisible by 9! Notice that each time you attempt their "trick" that every number divisible by 9 has the same symbol. The symbol may change with each attempt, but it is the same for each of those numbers.

"The Magic Number 9" is the title of a book I've owned for more than 40 years. In elementary school (grades 5-6) we were taught how to use the number nine to check addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. That goes back 59-60 years. Chief, when I worked in the installment loan department of a bank, and we were totaling accounts monthly, I learned if the difference of two totals could be divided by nine, you most probably had a transposition somewhere. Made it easier to know where to start looking.

If the difference is 9 the transposed digits will be one digit apart. 12:21 23:32 ETC If its 18 two digits apart, etc. Adjust as needed for hundreds thousands etc. Jo >> > pick any 2 digit number....add the two digits together and >> > subtract from the original 2 digit number and you will always [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> to use the number nine to check addition, subtraction, >> multiplication and division.

There aren't many around today who have heard the term (or who will admit to having heard it). I'd mention it to my son's teachers in the 80's and I see the BIG question mark appear on their faces - what the hell is he talking about?. I tried to teach my son's fifth grade teacher how to do this and it was in the days of Prodigy and long long modem times. Couldn't really remember how to do it and he had never heard of it. I think once calculators became so prevalent, more complex math problems were done on them and casting out nines to check your work became obsolete. Heck, when I took the SAT's, it was done with pencil and scrap paper! Now the kids get to use a calculator!

These days I enjoy teaching math teachers how to multiply a 2-digit number by 11 (in their head) and watching their "Why didn't I think of that?" expression. > These days I enjoy teaching math teachers how to multiply a 2-digit > number by 11 (in their head) and watching their "Why didn't I think > of that?" expression. The nurses at the hospital always made me nuts the way they did calculations. I wanted to set up a math class for them all and teach them about the numbers and how to "see" easier ways of doing stuff. Then one day one of the nursing students did come calculating by classic short-cut math style. I was so happy! Turned out she'd been a math teacher before going back to school for nursing.
