I Can Read Your Mind.

I have written a number on a piece of paper. Now you have to answer some questions so that I can predict the the number that you pick: What is 5 times 5? What is 6 times 6? What is your favourite colour? Pick a number between 1 and 10. What number did you pick?

[Tilly2]

My answer to factor, 69.

[factor-fiction]

Correct Tilly

It actually worked for me when I asked the OH the questions! Wow, I will have to try this again lol...well little things etc.

"Most people will, in fact, say 7"
Most people would be wrong.

It's amazing, and unfortunate, how many younger people are confused with the two math questions. OG, I don't understand your comment.

good evening stuey

in a similar vein :-

take someone aside and quickly bombard them with maths questions to which the answer will always be 6 (what is 2x3, what is half of 12, what number is half a dozen - etc) and then get them to immediately name a vegetable

they should respond "carrot" at which point you will produce a piece of paper upon which you wrote 'carrot' beforehand

let me know if it works

Down to the pub, I would propose, and given the World Darts on (a Canuck made the quarters, stuey), ONE HUNDRED and EIghtyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is the answer.

[Old_Geezer]

Seven isn't the right number to pick.
I know because I picked the right one.

[stuey]

OK, OG: very good:)

What's the colour got to do with it?!!! ;-)

[Old_Geezer]

Not much bbb. All previous questions are there just to make it less likely you'll think about the final answer much and just instinctively pick one (about 3/4s of the way up the permitted range).
