This is just weird. I'm trying to figure it out, and I think I've almost figured out how it's doing it.

Edit: I just figured it out. Took me 8 minutes. But still, it's very amusing.

I remember the first time I saw that, I got it on about the third try. It's probably easier to get if, like me, you A: play a lot of cards and B:are a complete skeptic who assumed that the mind reading thing is impossible from the outset.

It took me a bit too, but eventually I got it. It's more a trick of the mind then actually "reading" the mind, and I can see now why they'd want you to contact them if it wasn't accurate. It would make a fun website game if you could accomplish the same thing in an HTML code.

That was amusing. It took me a few tries, but I figured it out. I've seen better ones (ones that I still can't figure out).

......

Things like this trip me out and make me all gleeful..

Parakisu, explain this to me over AIM x__X Cuz I surely dont get how they do it.

EDIT: Well, now that it's been explained..I'm a bit disappointed. DAMN PROGRAM *SHAKES FIST*

But tricks of the mind and illusions are still pretty damn cool XD

At first, I thought this was a well researched experiment dealing with the brain in some kind of way (0___o; sorry, can't think of the words).

What I mean is that it goes something like "A person who picks this number is more likely to pick this card" "A person who picked this symbol is more likely to have picked this card" kind of thing.

After going back to it a second time, I feel like a complete and utter moron.

I figured it out on the first try. At first I was like "Wow! How'd it do that" then I was like.......

[spoiler]
Wait a minute........Did they just take out all the cards? So I wrote the first choices all down and low and behold, they did.

Interesting thing ... if anyone actually scrolled to the bottom, you'd see a "Terms of Service" thing. Apparently, it's illegal for anyone under 18 to view that site.

http://www.readyourmind.net/Terms.html

As for how it works - I've seen ones like these a few times. The first time I ever saw it, I was 99% sure I knew what had happened, and on the second try I confirmed it.

lol it took me more than a few tries to figure it out...like 15 mins :S, i've seen loads of those sorts of things before but this one took the longest for me to work out, probably because i don't have much common sense o_0.

crazydiamond · Post by **crazydiamond** » Thu Jul 08, 2004 2:31 pm

*writhes around in mental agony* I don't know how it works! It's tormenty!! Don't explain it to me tho. It's fun and tormenty. I'll see if my mom can get it when she gets home.

Eep, I had to ask my Dad before I realised how it worked.

I feel so stupid now! Cool trick, though.

Eh, I went and had a look at those terms and conditions. OK, I don't see why you have to be 18 to do that puzzle, that just seems bizzare.

Someone tell me how it works @_@;;;;;;;;;;; I must be stupid cause I haven't figured it out @_@;;;;;;;;;; .

*tries to rest mind*

Okay, I'll try again. But I still want someone to tell me XD

*been trying from the moment I saw the topic, which is... yesterday XD

Well, it's under Bob's spoiler, but if you want it plainer:[spoiler]There are 12 picture cards in a deck: King, Queen, Jack in each of the four suits:Spades, Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds. The page shows 6 of those, tells you to pick one, then when you click on the link, shows 5 of the other 6. I doesn't matter what you pick, because they're all gone. But you're so focused on your card that you don't think about all the others and see that they've changed as well.[/spoiler]

crazydiamond · Post by **crazydiamond** » Fri Jul 09, 2004 11:58 am

*sighs* I showed it to my mom after she got home from work yesterday. She figured it out on the first try. -_-;; Then she explained it to me. I had no idea. It *is* fun, tho. I'll send it along to some friends of mine. Then I will torment them with the fact that I know how it works, and they don't! Bwahahaha!
