OK all you math majors...I challenge you to this game..

[Magyar]

Numbers game:

Pick 4 numbers

Jumble the numbers

Subtract the smaller number from the larger number

Circle one of the numbers

Now......tell me ( post under this post) the sum of the remaining numbers and I will tell you the number that you circled...guaranteed

who's first to challenge my ESP talents???

You have until 10:10 PM to send me the number....then I'm off the computer for tonight

#1) Pick 4 numbers ( ex: 4275)

#2) Jumble those numbers ( ex: 7254)

#3) Subtract the smaller number from the larger number ( ex: 7254
- 4275
----------------
2979 )

#4) Circle one of the numbers (ex: say you circle the number "7")

#5) Give me the sum of the remaining numbers (ex: 2 +9 +9= 20 )

#6) I will tell you the exact number that you circled

Are you up to this challenge?

If I am correct, I will reveal how the trick is done

Explain what three numbers you added up to get the sum of "52"

But except for rare cases such as Elson's respone, I just need the sum of those numbers...

O.K. first I picked 4 number, 16,24,28,56
2.I jumble them up ?????
3. I subtracted the smaller number from the larger one. 16 - 56 = 40
4. I circle one of the number

The two numbers left is 24 and 28 witch added together is 52.

So now what do I do ??

Now remember I ain't a smart man.

Just a little error...

And you have to do this on paper....like a math subtraction ..like 3762 ( 4 numbers)
- 2637 ( jumble the numbers up)
-----------
1125

Now say you circled the number "5" and you told me that the sum of the other three numbers was "4"

Well, then I would be able to tell you that you circled the number "5" without even looking at what you did there in Louisiana

or say you circled the number "I"

and told me the sum of the other three numbers was "8"..then I could tell you what the number was that you circled..

Now try it..and let me see if I can guess your next attempt.

Thanx
Magz...
