    Its been on TV many times where it was described how it works and how it fails. I just wanted to see how many times it would work here.

    To make the pool of available numbers seem larger. When you get down to it, there are only 8 different numbers you can choose and I guess surveys have shown that of those numbers, 39 was picked more often than the others.

    I personally think math magic is lame, at least from the magic standpoint. It's like the "psychic" magic on TV where they put up different objects (like planets) and have you move from object to object until everybody land on the same one. It's just math. LAME!

    I chose 13. :confused:

    Does it work differently if I am Mexican...?

    Piensa en un número del 1 al 50...
    ... so on, so forth... I guess I will try it with my Mess'can amigos.

    THIS IS GENIUS, man! :D

    according to this line of thought, wouldn't 35 be the right answer?

    Just did it to two of my coworkers.

    The first one guessed 33. FAIL.

    Second did 17.

    it's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!


    But anyway, I picked 37 also.

    (started at 27, switched to 37 when it couldn't be an even #)
