Interact! Longevity Game

Songsri Soranastaporn, Thailand

Predicted life span: 93 years

Goals in Life: The most important thing to do in order to achieve this goal for me is eat right and do exercise. This is not very heard for me to do. Now, I eat vegetable and fruit more than carbohydrate and protein. I can cotrol my weight. I do "YOGA" three time a week. I plan to do aerobic dance in the near future.

I do not use stress to inhibit or discourage my happy mind and body. I solve stress problem by talking with my family or my friends. I also do what I like for examples read books, writing books, and sleep.

I think I am happy now. I want to live longer and do not getting older and older, just want to be the same as present.

Well, the algorithm is very smart, the operation of adding the two digits from a 2 digit number then subtracting it by the result will always give you a number divisible by 9. So the symbol that will be displayed in the blue crystal ball will always be the one that is at the position of the numbers 9,18,27,36 etc. And after you click on "Try Again" only the symbols at the divisible number will change (so that you think that this is true magic) the rest will stay the same, actually the other symbols are just to confuse, to make it look complicated.

It doesn't work just for 2 digit numbers but also for 3 and 4 etc.

example 1342:

1+3+4+2=10

1342-10=1332

And 1332/9=148 so it is divisible by 9.

I must admit it is a very clever trick, at first you truly think that computer telepathy really does exist.
