I played with this thing for a while and it took me about 60 seconds to figure it out. Once you figure it out you will slap yourself in the head. I wonder how many of you will come back and ask how did they do it. I will publish how they did it in the comments section tomorrow. :) [Flash Mind Reader]

I saw this via a my roommate, and it took me two “mind read” to realize what was going on.
I noticed that each time you tried again, that the number to symbol pattern was different, and I think if I wasted enough time trying to figure it out, they probably just cycle through 6 or 7 of these pattern sets.
The actuall way I figured it out though, is to pick 3 or more “random” numbers and find out they all lead to the exact same symbol for that pattern set.
The game is rigged. The equation proudces predictable numbers each time. But the way they get over on you is they change the symbols each time you reload the page.Look at the number 9 and hit re-load.

WOW! I couldn’t believe it!! This thing actually works…. well, most of the time. The Link comes courtesy of GeekNewsCentral.com – who promises to post tomorrow on how it was done.
