Mind Reading 1

Any time you want, you can find the link to the next trick on the bottom.
This one, I'm sorry to say, can go on endlessly ... well, almost.

Note: Even though the instructions call for mere simple math, use a calculator and/or scratch pad to scribble your answers ... Avoid wearing thick gloves, the applet needs to get a clear signal from your mind, through your mouse - it's a very complicated process of cyberkinetics - it even frightens me. Gulp!

In the following directions, "between one and ten" - can include - one or ten.
