YOUR ANSWER IS ... 27

Let's do some more ... we'll keep those powers sharp here.

Easy Come Easy Go ... beats the devil out of me ... watch him (her?) disappear.
Predicting ... the trick is in the number 9 ... that digit has a powers beyond belief .
Forecasting ... this one requires some following of directions ... not sure you'll go for it
Photographic Memory ... we have powers within us that we never dream of.
The List ... brings you back to the list of magic tricks.

EASY COME - EASY GO

Easy Come - Easy Go.

Move your mousey over the link.
Now you see it ... Now you don’t.

With a flip of the wrist and a tallyho.
Where'd that little devil go.
Don't ask me ... I don't know.

Then CLICK the link for the next plateau.

You will need a calculator to explore this cute little arithmetical puzzler.>

Think of ANY three digit number ... write it down and repeat it to form a six digit number.
(e.g., 315315)

Multiply this six digit number by 9 and divide by 11 ... I predict there will be no remainder.

Divide the answer by 7 ... I predict there will be no remainder.

Divide the answer by 3 ... I predict there will be no remainder.

Multiply the answer by 2 and divide by 13 ... I predict there will be no remainder.

Divide the answer by 6.

I predict your answer is equal to the number you first thought of ... the one you started with.

We return to ... Menu ... or continue.

I am going to forecast a number that you freely select.

Follow these steps carefully (a calculator will help).

1. Write down ANY five digit number.

2. Write down ANY other five digit number.

3. ADD together the two numbers ... Call the result A.

Example: 53627
.............. + 81469
............ ________
.......... A = 135096

4. SCRAMBLE the digits of A in any way you like ... Call the result B.

Example: B = 560319

5. SUBTRACT the smaller value of A and B from the larger value ... Call the result C.

Example: 560319
................. - 135096
............ ________
........... C = 425223

6. MULTIPLY C by ANY single digit (except 0) ... Call the result D.

Example: 425223
........................... x 7
............ ________
........ D = 2976561

7. SCRAMBLE the digits of D in any way you like ... Call the result E.

Example: E = 7516629

8. ADD together C and E ... Call the result F.

Example: 425223
.............. + 7516629
............ ________
........ F = 7941852

9. Now freely select ANY digit in F (except a zero) ... Circle the chosen digit.

This is the digit I am going to divine ... We will call the selected digit your KEY DIGIT.

Example: 79418(5)2

10. SCRAMBLE the REMAINING digits of F in any way you like ... Call the result G.

Example: G = 824719

11. SPLIT the digits of G into TWO groups in any way you like, forming two numbers.
Then ADD these numbers together ... Call the result H.

.... Example: 82
.............. + 4719
............ ________
........ H = 4801

12. SCRAMBLE the digits of H in any way you like ... Call the result J.

Example: J = 8104

13. Type in your value of J ... add your email address (it's probably there) and click SEND.

I shall reply with the value of your KEY DIGIT

Send your J figure to ... ... the Brighton Houdini.

PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY

That's right ... we all, to some extent, have a photographic memory.
This is similar to the cache you have in your computer ... it remembers your recent visits.

In the flag below, you will see a purple dot in the center ... STARE AT IT for 10 seconds.
That's right ... one a thousand, two a thousand, three a thousand ... etc. etc.

Then click the flag and you will see another image.
And note how you will gradually begin to see the stars and stripes ... for awhile.
BUT DON'T READ ANY TEXT ON THAT PAGE ... JUST STARE AT THE BLANK FLAG.

Now scroll down and try it ... sorry, too lazy to make a link here.
Stare at the purple dot for 10 seconds, and then click the flag.
