Can anyone tell me who that crazy mindprobe thing works????? :insane: :insane: :insane: :insane:

[dying to live]

no

it works because there are certain numbers that you will always get for example 9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72, and 81 no matter which number u choose the answer will always ber a multiple of nine. So its simple to just assign each of the numbers the same symbol. and just to prove it lets take 55 so 5+5=10
and 55-10=45 so there its a multiple of 9. This is how the mind probe works :) :) :)

Here's another fact. The digits of any multiple of nine (18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99...) can be added together until it's reduced back to nine. For example... 18: 1+8=9, 72: 7+2=9, 1881: 18+81=99, 9+9=18, 1+8=9 or 1+8+8+1=18, 1+8=9.

It goes on infinitely. Hence the reason the number 9 is used as the basis for such 'magical' formulas, and why 9 has been my favorite number since I learned of it.

Seeing as though we are on the topic of the number 9...

Here's a well known trick that works for the 9 times table.

Hold up all your fingers and thumbs.
If you want to do 9x3, hold down your 3rd finger. You will see that you now have 2 fingers before the 'down finger' and 7 fingers afterwards.
The fingers before are the 10's, the fingers afterwards are the 1's.

With 9x3 you have 2 fingers before the 'down finger'

....so thats 2 ten's.

And 7 fingers after the 'down finger'

....so thats 7 1's.

It equals 27.

If you were doing 9x6, you would hold down your 6th finger.

Now i know this is rather pointless, and what fool doesnt know the 9 times table?....but it's kinda relevant.

Sorry if the above post made no sense. I can't explain it well.
