mind reading

This really is off-topic, but it's disturbing me! Can anyone explain this .... please!

It did not pop up the symbol I was looking at. Either I don't have a mind it can read or they throw up a random symbol

[zaphodeist]

I tried a dozen times and it 'worked' every time Now I am getting paranoid

Any answer is a multiple of nine - I think - so the randomness is less. Perhaps I'm just lucky/unlucky/doomed!

I have worked it out - should we wait a while and not spoil the illusion for others?

(I'm better at numbers than I am at graphics!)

It's creepy ......... Not sure how it works but I used 6 different numbers, which resulted in 4 different symbols. It was right each time.

Glad I'm not the only one Keith - I know it's daft, but I even found myself deliberately looking at the wrong answer .... as if they were .... actually .... y'know .... [cough]

Jiva - I suppose we'd better wait I'll be asking for a PM soon

Okay, I got it figured out ......... Thank god for that. It was really killing me.

Bill: If it didn't get your symbol right, then you did the math wrong. It cannot be wrong.

Just got it too I'm not an alien-abductee

Thanks Keith, I was doing the math incorrect...misread the instructions.

Once the pattern is observed it is easy to see what is going on behind the scene.

I was freaked too, but I think I understand how they get you
