How Does This Work????

[Chuck Engels]

Give this a try just for fun, maybe someone can figure out how it works

Simple math... process of elimination.

[Paul LS]

Tried it twice and it got it wrong both times. Am I doing something wrong??? Gets the same wrong number though... 12 instead of 9, perhaps that is telling me something. Seems to work with 5...

Simple math... process of elimination.

It works like that old card trick.

[Ron]

You mean this one?

[Ron]

Way to ruin it, Dave

[Dave McElderry]

My apologies. It's been removed. I thought that Chuck really wanted to know how it worked. I guess I'm naive.

[Ron]

Actually, I was kidding. (I wish you could do tone when writing)

[Dave McElderry]

Not a problem Ron. Maybe everyone would rather figure it out on their own anyway. I think we all suffer the frustrations from time to time of not being able to hear inflections in posts.

[Paul LS]

Helps if you read it properly... I now see that I wasn't supposed to pick "MY" house number from the box, but the house that my number was in... lol... no wonder it wouldn't work...

And of course it is the added "decoration" that makes you think it is actually more clever than it is...

4 for 4 it go right.

[Chuck Engels]

I would like Dave to put his answer back

I just hate trying to figure out this stuff for free, that is what I get paid for at work.

[Paul LS]

A clue... all you need to get the answer are two of the screens... the others are all "decoration" to fool you into thinking it is harder than it is. With these two it (or you) can not get the answer wrong!

[Steve Grisetti]

I do like the fact that, in the last screen, after you open the door to find your number -- if you open any other door after that, you'll find other numbers there.

All part of the smoke and mirrors, of course, but a clever flourish!
