Enjoy the illusion. If you want it spoiled for ya, PM me.
Nevermind Everyone! I Just Figured It Out! Xd
Tell everyone PJ! I'd like to know...
It's very math based. There are only a certain combination of things your number can be on each page. For each possibility of a number, there is a corresponding shape, and on each page, they are matched up differently (as in each time you do the activity). Im not very good at explaining things, but it's a very simple set of math equations. I'm bad at math and I still figured out how it works.

*spoiler*
the answer is always a multiple of 9. all the multiples of 9 are the same symbol. It'll always get it.
cool little program.
The only other bit is they change the symbol for the 9s multiples each time you reload so you don't end up noticing that it's always the same.
I couldn't figure it out at first, but I got it eventually. Very cool though.
I was baffled until I read PJ's explanation. Very clever indeed!
Seen that a loooong time ago.
Kind of a cheap one if you ask me : /
I got a better one, you won't ever be able to understand how this works but still do it.
take any two digit numbers then times by one and then subtract it by the two digit number you came up with.
e.g. ((11x1)-11)
Now here is you're number
you're number is 1
Well if you times by 1 nothing happen so you just make up a number and subtract the number. Leaving you with 1.
WTF?!^ that's obvious. Here's one for you, try dividing something by 0, tell me when you get a definite number.
1/0=1
1x0=0
so 0/0=1

Hence: 1/0=0.
And similarly: 0/0 still = 0.
Nice try though.

Yeah that had me for a few minutes
Yeah lol wendy... you mean 0, not 1...
Illusions are pretty cool, especially math based ones. I'm somewhat of a magician myself and self-working tricks always saves you after a few sleights and everyone is watching you closer than you'd like.
Would you believe that I was a semi-pro magician when I was in the 7th through 9th grades? I was. I did close-up and stage shows. Mostly stage shows for functions ranging from birthday parties to business events to library shows to a bunch of Boy Scout functions (such as Blue & Gold Dinners, Eagle Scout ceremonies, etc...)Quote:
