I want my mummy...

Easy one!

It offers either 23, 46 or 84.

Try with every number, the sign remains the same

Example

23: 23 - 5 = 18

46: 46 - 10 = 36

84: 84 - 12 = 72

Now check the signs for all 3 numbers

Do I win £ 40? :laugh:

No.

I thought the same, but it offers a different (but correct) sign depending on the number selected. :nod:

Shut up and try with 23, 46 and 84

The signs are always the same!! I checked 3 times, jeez

it's all about the number 9, the answer will always be a multiple.

the sign changes for multiples of 9 each time.

I understand that. But I used two different numbers (50 and 91), and got two different signs, both correct.

That fits with the numbers I chose. :nod:

Also, try with any other number but 23, 46 and 84 ..... see your sign, now see the signs for the said numbers as well... :nod:

You're way off Maya. :nod:

28 Jun 2006, 11:04

No Maya, you're spot on... :nod:

28 Jun 2006, 11:06

You know it makes sense. I can't find appropriate words to explain in English, sorry

28 Jun 2006, 11:07

Here's what it does... or is this a plot spoiler?

Warning: Plot Spoiler follows!!!

Like Barney Army said, it's all multiples of 9. And like Maya said, it's all the same symbol. The way if tricks you is it changes symbols each time you play. But if you look at the symbols for the multiples of 9, they always match.

Anyone remember good old Johnny Ball and 'think of a number'?

Me neither. And I checked my sums. So its bollocks. And it changed the symbol on the third attempt.

Atmospheric and a bit spooky but still bollocks.
