Mystical Ball
 

http://www.mysticalball.com/ Beware I think there are popups.

But this thing is really funny and very clever and really neat. It had me stumped for about 15 tries. Can you figure out how it works? Don't say the answer, I want to see how long it takes everyone to figure out.

LIKE OMG.. How does it work.. :yikes:

Re: Mystical Ball
 

I have an idea in the back of my head that I can't completely formulate...

It's pretty cool though (albeit simple math, I'm sure).

Re: Mystical Ball
 

Ooh. That's pretty neat. It took me a few times to notice something that cleared it all up. Pretty cool! I'll have to remember to pass this on to a few people.

Re: Mystical Ball
 

oooo .. i got it... now i feel quite smart (though it did take a while)

Re: Mystical Ball
 

I got it! Now I feel smart!

Re: Mystical Ball
 

OOOOHHHH! I'm able to read the ball's mind!

Spoiler: (Don't highlight below!)

I'm thinking 45... :rolleyes:

That's cute! Thanks for sharing! I'm such a geek I even made a little Excel spreadsheet for it!

Re: Mystical Ball
 

Wow!
That took a while to figure out
But that's awesome... *must stump friends*

I still can't figure out the trick behind it. I know it's a math thing but I'm no good at math. =/

Re: Mystical Ball
 

*cough*You have to actually try if you want to read it.*end cough* And I even warn you.

:D

Another semi spoiler: (Don't hightlight)
Seriously, just try it a bunch of times and you'll see a pattern.

It's really hard to resist posting how this little parlor trick works MATHEMATICALLY. (Yes there IS mathematics involved. :) )

Re: Mystical Ball
 

Through the magic of simple algebra, all will be revealed. Everyone please observe, I have nothing up my sleeve.

Let a and b represent the respective 10's and 1's digits of a two-digit decimal number.....etc. etc. etc.........SHAZAM!

Behold, the truth.

The great prestidigitator has replied to Kayla via PM, so the secrets of the Mystical Ball shall remain publicly shrouded in mystery......
