Is anyone tried this ipad app? And is anybody have an idea of the trick behind? This app is very basic, the first page request you take a number then add each numeric and subtract the value to the original number. Then you tap on the screen and a list of number and symbols is shown. You concentrate on the symbol resulting of the operation above and shake the device then the app show a symbol. The problem here is that I took a notepad and started quote success and failures and I got 1 failure, the first attempt, and 8 success. Then I stopped try and posted this. I never tried trick the app and always made it honestly. I tried be natural but also observe what I was doing: There's in fact only 12 symbols and they change each time. A possibility was that I was hypnotized and was persuading me it was the right symbol even when it wasn't the right one. Perhaps I had no witness but I was conscious of this possibility and took very fast a lot of care to be sure of the symbol. I noticed I wasn't put my hand at same place, there was a link between my hands positions and the symbol I had to concentrate on when I was going to shake. I noticed I was doing laud the computing but in my language and as far I know the ipad had no mic. When shaking the ipad, it's possible I was tempted to center a little the shaking on the symbol where I just concentrated. The problem is the hands positions and ipad centering was still rough for me. And a series of 8 is rather amazing... if it's really 1/12 for each event. Anybody tried? I'm 100% sure it won't work for all people but why it is working for me? EDIT: Woo if it's a game then I'm a champion at it, I decided tried a new series, 3 tries, 3 successes. I had to stop to not feel insane and get some feedback first. EDIT2: Damit the app isn't free anymore, for sure don't buy this crap. But I'm so sad that I won't get someone else feeling about it. To describe a little better: The second page with numbers and symbols has 5 columns and 17 lines. The numbers are from 0 to 100 or less but there isn't all numbers. Numbers on second page: 1st column 0 to 16, 2nd column 20 to 36, 3rd column 30 to 56, and so on. Each number is present only once, they are sorted. Each time the symbol associated to a number change and there's only 12 symbols. For sure the initial computing reduce the possible numbers. Example of the computing you have to do: 97, 9+7=15, 97-15=82, then on second page you have to make a mental image of the symbol associated to 82. Can't some math master decipher this?
Lol it's only when I found another game using a very similar trick (mind reading, free so you can try) that I got it. It was so basic but it was funny to get amazed now I know the charm is broken.
