if i don't know that 1+1= 3, how do u expect me to do this?

[originel]

got it:

when you add each digit up from that answer it always equals 27 (at least in all the tests i did). so to find the missing number you just add the 3 digits together and subtract it fom 27

EDIT:hmmm...just disproved myself. i still think it has to do with the sum of the digits in the answer...there are just too many patterns. possibly it is always a multiple of 3 (my other answers were all multiples of 3). especially considering the fact that you can enter the digits in any order you want to

I got how the last screen works.

Add the numbers together and subtract that number from 9..that is the number the dude gived u.

Example......16 give = 2
1+6=7
9-7=2

If the number equal 9 the number he gives u is 9. Is the numbers equal 10, then he gives you a 8. If you think out it on a number scale in multiples of 9, 10 is 8 away from the next 9. If that mkes any sense.

See, you have to see how many numbers it takes to get to the "next nine". 998 adds to 26. 27 is the next multiple of 9. 26 to 27 is 1, so he gives you a 1.

If I put in 999, that adds up to 27. 27 is a multiple of 9 itself, so to get to the NEXT 9 multiple (36) it takes 9 which is the number he gives you.

I still dont get how the rest works.
it's late too.

PS the whole universe is built of the number 9, not 10 as our number system is. If we ever found aliens their geometry would probably be based on 9 since it makes SO much more sense. That is probably why this "mind" game uses 9's. I bet the whole thing is 9-based.

Well I guess that IS kinda it, right. you give me 2,3,or 4 numbers and I can tell you the "other" number you had.

Oh, i figured this out too. Take any number of ANY number of digits. Rearrange those digits anyway you want. Subtract them and the number you get will be amultiple of 9. for some reason, when you give the "computer" the other numbers in the "multiple of nine" number, you can do thr trick I described above.




I have to use this one my friends....

The guy was wrong. The answer was 7 and he picked 8, what a dumb deleted .

Wrong...I picked ZERO the only numeral not circled and he picked 9

[tmx468]

You are not supposed to circle zeros...

[joker_927]

Try it on me... Someone pick a number. Rearrange those numbers. Subract the two numbers. Circle one fo the number and give me the other number..lets see if I get it right.
