It's amazing how some people are conned by the simplest of gimmicks. Show this one to your gullible friends and amaze them. Then explain how it works and watch them squirm and call you a party-pooper.

That was cool. My brother had to point out how it worked. I wont spoil it for those that haven't figured it out yet.

Neat little trick. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.

Wyz_sub10 · 02-04-2003, 08:48 AM

That's cool.

To be honest, I still haven't figured it out. It wasn't right every time, though. I'd say about 8 out of 10 (maybe I'm substarcting incorrectly).

Must...figure...out.

You're about 90% of the way there. (9% of it is spelling "subtracting" right

)

Yes, but I'm Canadian. And because it's so cold, we say 'sub-arcting'

Here's a hint: Try the same number more than once...

You have to do the math(s).

Silly, obvious giveaway below:

Before clicking the ball, try three numbers in a row, and remember the result

Here's another hint: Any two different numbers resulting from the subtraction are related---they have something in common.

NOTE: There is a misplaced number in the set: between 28 and 30 they've placed 39 instead of 29. Just FYI.
