Now This Is Just Freaky....

Post by Rabbi Dali Rick » Sat Jan 09, 2010 7:48 pm

Now this is just downright freaky. A friend sent me this the other day, and I just can not for the life of me figure out how this is done.

That is strange I dont like it and I dont want to play anymore. I assumed at first it was because i hovered over something. But I am sure people dont choose the same numbers I did. 10 , 27, 74 were the three numbers I started with so. 9, 18, and 63. Two if which are divisble by nine but unless people commonly think of numbers divisible by nine I dont see ho wthat would work. Especially since my last number isnt divisible by nine. Urgh creepy

You can pick any two digit number. The result you get after subtracting each of its digits will always be divisible by 9. 10-1=9. 11-1-1=9. 12-1-2=9. 88-8-8=72. All multiples of 9 on the list match each other.

There was another one like this using playing cards a while back - I forget how that one worked but it was similar.

If you subtract the lesser digit from any number, you always go down to the next multiple of ten. (i.e. if you pick 56 and subtract the 6, you get to 50)

So the numbers from 50 to 59 map to the same number (45). All the hundred numbers can only possibly match to 10 different numbers, and as others have noted, they are all multiples of nine.

If you look closely at the page, all the multiples of nine match to the same item. The item is different every time, but they all have the same item.

Yeah I am fucked in the head when someone starts talking numbers. For some reason my brain just doesnt work that way.
