    I just want to see how many times it actually works...

    Lets see...
    Think of a number between 1 and 50 ...
    It has to be double digit ...
    The digits must be odd ...
    The digits cannot be the same ...

    ...

    Think

    ...

    Got it?

    ...

    I thought both numbers had to be odd? 4 isn't odd. wouldn't that mean that you fail?

    I predict it will generally work 12.5% of the time.

    I circumvented the system causing a massive internal fail.

    Pick a number from 1 to 2, and it has to be an even whole number...

    :p

    Hmmm. When on the spot your brain might work like this:


    Think of a number between 1 and 50 ...

    25 or so is right between




    It has to be double digit ...


    "double digit" encourages a number like 22



    The digits must be odd ...

    now it cant be 22, so I will make it 33 (easier than counting backwards)




    The digits cannot be the same ...

    now it can't be 33 so I'll make it 37

    Nope 13, this might be the worst trick in the history of magic.

    Yeah, laugh now. But in about 4 or 5 hours when somebody actually guesses 37, they're going to be totally freaked out.

    Something tells me that even if someone was to actually pick 37, they won't admit to it.

    I don't get it.

    why are we picking a double digit number from 1 to 50 when 1-9 are automatically out of the question?

    I'll admit it. I tried it and picked 37 before anyone had responded. I was just ashamed, because this means I am completely and utterly predictable. :(
