The answer is Psychokinesis.
I believe in it.
How many people in the world right now believe in it?
It's hard to tell.
Some people just don't mention it. |

here's the explanation I got from Guitarman's nephew, a math wiz.....
Any two-digit number minus the sum of its digits will always be an integer multiple of 9. On the page where it tells you to stare at your symbol, pay attention to the symbols for 9, 18, 27, 36, etc... Notice anything? They are always the same as one another, and that's the symbol they flash on the screen.
But I thought it was really freaky!!!!! |

here's the math: A 2 digit number first digit x, second digit y,
represented mathemtically 10x + y
The math we have to apply is take the original number and subtract the sum of the digits .
or
10x + y - (x + y) = z where z is the solution
reducing this
10x + y - x - y = z
or 9x = z
in other words, the second digit of the number plays no role in the solution, only the first digit of your 2 digit number
for x=1 ; z =9
for x =2 ; z = 18
for x = 3 ; z =27
...etc in multiples of 9 up through
for x =9 ; z =81
So the solution is always a multiple of 9, and if you look at the table the same symbol is always given to every number that is a multiple of9. In other words there are 9 different solutions, but the table always assigns the same symbol to multiples of 9 so regardles of whether your number starts with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 the symbol is always the same.
9x |

I did the mini game without even concentrating on the symbol and not looking at the screen.
Explain that. |

either way Psychokinesis is very real - energy (everything is naturally made out of it - can't question it ever) |
