It didnt get my number…guess im not too predictable eh?
-
😮 It’s got about 30 other peoples multiple attempts correct every time on another site I go on
Typical as soon as I post it, it goes pear shaped 😳
-
in all honesty mate, it did not get my number either, but by only one digit.
see, you need to realise the boards are just that bit more special than other sites. 😉 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
-
that’s the last time I forward anything on…………ever 😳 😳
-
i even clicked the other two doors… 21, 22 & 4 i think… my number was 23. 😀

aaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh………..It works every time for me
-
Works every time for me too. I even tried repeating the same sequence but altering one of my choices and it still got the right door 😕
-
here we go again 🙄
if done correctly you should ALWAYS get your number, unlike aliens and religion mathematically it can’t go wrong and the numbers can’t lie 😉 it’s like using a calculator, the only way 1+1 would not =2 is if the operator made an error 😉
(I can see this coming back to bite me in the @ss :lol1: )

well im saying nothing…
my reply was….
Unless you can prove this thing can actually work 100% in front of my eyes, "i does not work" so there…. :baby:
but i thought "no, I’m not rising to the bait" so i never hit the submit button… :lol1: 😉

Phil there are no variables to get the sum right
The red herring is choosing the coloured box, it is only there to make the trick look more complex, and hide the fact that the numbers change colour, the second time you see them in the house.
The first choice of colour reduces the chances of guessing the number to six to one, by changing the colours of the number when displayed in the houses now reduces the chance to a certainty, when you choose the door the correct number is all ways there. This puzzle can only work on a computer though, as the other doors can have the number changed before you look! -
so what you are saying Peter, is for the trick NOT to work…you have to be a bit thick 😀
Is that what you’re saying 😉

What I am saying, is you are choosing a colour, not a number initially. one of five colours, the numbers are not important, the same trick could be done with different coloured whatevers 😀

A guy in here was saying it didn’t work, then I realised he was was clicking on the house that had his house number in it!
Now that’s a special kind of stupid!
