Cath Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 This is really off topic but I am dying to know how they do this. Do you think this could be turned into a slideshow with P2E?http://www.cyberglass.co.uk/assets/Flash/psychic.swf This is really strange! How do they do it?

Guest guru Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Do you think this could be turned into a slideshow with P2E?I think it's rather difficult, because the coincidence between numbers and symbols changes every time, so that the resultant symbol is the same whatever number you are choosing!

LumenLux Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Might not be a task for PTE, but it is a fun "show." And I think the "trick" is less obvious than many similar tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guru Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 I said it, Cath! The coincidence between numbers and symbols changes every time, and is set so that the resultant symbol is the same whatever number you chose.

cici Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Hi Guido,sorry, but you are not right: the ''resultant symbol " is not always " the same whatever number you choose"!Try again and you'll see (with 18, and others...)Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cici Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 The result of the difference is always the same for the nombers between the same decade (10-19 ; 20-29 ...) and is always a multiple of 9.You'll find therefore 11 different symbolsSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coincidence between numbers and symbols changes every time, and is set so that the resultant symbol is the same whatever number you chose. You may have said it but you didn't say it in good plain old English. LOL The solution is on the tippy tip of my brain but it eludes me still. I will have to check it out again.Cath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alrobin Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Good for you, Cathy! It's a good one - similar to the "card trick" show on Beechbrook.It would be possible to adapt it to PTE, but would require a lot of work preparing all the objects and pictures of symbols, etc. No more work than doing it in Flash, though. And the transitions, which are pretty jerky in Flash, would be smooth as silk in PTE.Wouldn't need many slides, either, and the "programming" would be simple.Let us know when you have it finished!

Ken Cox Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 A friend did some work and came up with this -- no guarantee kenAll the 90's subtract to 81, All the 80's subtract to 72, All the 70'ssubtraact to 63, All the 60's Subtract to 54, All the 50's subtract to 45,The 40's to 36, The 30's to 27, The 20's to 18, and the 10's subtract to 9and the 9 to 0 subtracts to 0. All, (81, 72, 63, 54, 45, 36, 27, 18, 9, and0,) all have the same symbol at the same time. Everytime that you click totry again, the symbols are changed to a different one. I think the guy hada lot of fun getting it all lined out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted March 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Wouldn't need many slides, either, and the "programming" would be simple.Let us know when you have it finished! I will put it on my lengthening list of "to do's" LOL Thanks for the clues guys (even the vague non plain English ones ) . I had a bit of fun with it!Cath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
