Bryan, Madame Pink has read the tea leaves, and she predicts great success for some person named Earl Grey... Madame Pink has gazed into the crystal, and she is very enthusiastic about the future of Swarovski... Madame Pink has consulted the spirits, and she thinks she'll have just one more sip before the pub closes... Regarding the clever webpage that you've mentioned, there's nothing psychic about it. Probably nothing psychotic, either, but I'm not totally certain about that. ;-) Your answer will always be a multiple of nine. Notice that, in every table of numbers and symbols that is displayed, all numbers that are multiples of 9 (up to 81, which is the maximum number possible, given the rules of the puzzle) are assigned the same symbol. When you do the puzzle again, the symbols are shuffled around, but the numbers 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, and 81 will still all be represented by a common symbol. Here's a good explanation of why the answer will always be a multiple of nine: MathForum: Multiples of 9 Number Puzzle http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/62561.html Another discussion of the puzzler: Snopes Urban Legend Reference Pages http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/psychic.htm I hope this helps to put your mind at ease about the paranormal capabilities of a webpage. If the fellow who created that site were truly psychic, wouldn't he be in Las Vegas piling up the moolah, rather than noodling around for free on the Internet? Best, Madame Pink (knows all, tells some) | |

Wow, Madame Pink, I always knew that you were amazing but now EVERYBODY can see for themselves! Yes, it's all SO simple, after you have exposed the trick. Now, for your next trick, please transform these meagre 5 Stars into the Constellation that you truly deserve. Well? ..... I'm waiting ..... All the Best Bryan |

Bryan and Pink, This is the epitome of one of those questions where: "I wish I had said that". I had worked the numbers 9 and the changing hieroglyphs .. hey I was getting there! Phil |

Bryan, Many thanks for the five-star constellation and the large tip! I am always so glad to debunk alleged psychic phenomena that some have said that I am amazingly randy. ~Pink |
