How does this work? It has to have something to do with math. I know the ones where you pick numbers and add, subtract your age, etc. etc. are math related... but this one you are doing all in your mind, you are not telling it your starting number. How does it know??

If you randomly click on the crystal ball without thinking of a symbol, something appears, so that's random.

Edit.... OK I finally get it, I think. Each time the screen loads, the symbols are in a different place, so it just picks the next one or something.

You don't have unique symbols--the numbers that will come up with any of the possible answers all have the same symbol. For example, 65 = 6+5 = 11, 65-11 = 54. Their example: 23= 2+3 = 5, 23-5 = 18. Or, 26 = 2 +6 = 8, 26-8=18. 99 = 9+9 = 18, 99-18 = 81. Check all three of those numbers, and they all have the same symbol. Mathematically, this equation will only give you numbers that add up to 9 (54, 5+4=9, 45, 4+5 = 9, 63, 6+3 = 9, etc). There's a term for it, can't recall it off my head, though. Check the symbols for those numbers, and they are all the same.
 
My son got this handheld game for Christmas called 20 questions. It is bizarre. You think of something and it ask you 20 questions then guesses. I can't figure out how it works. Say you think of a clock. It ask the animal vegetable or mineral. It then ask a serious of questions and you think..how the heck does it do that?? Noting really specific...and you answer yes, no, sometimes, or I don't know. The questions seem so vague that I can't figure out how it gets it. I only stumped it once.
Has anyone else seen this?? Can someone explain how it works??
 
I've seen it, or something similar - but it was on the net. Basically it stored information people gave, so each time somebody played (provided they weren't purposefully giving wrong answers), it 'learned' and could target its questions even better. I'll see if I can dig up the site, unless somebody else has it?

There are only 9 possible answers (all mutiples of 9), and each of those numbers have the same symbol. The symbols change each time you try, but all of those numbers always show the same symbol as each other.

Each time the new set of symbols come up, the answer is also "set". Now the real trick would be to keep the symbols the same!
:D
