:eek: Gee, thanks NM, now I'll be up all night trying to figure that one out.

That's cool. I think David Copperfield did something like that once, where you had to put your finger on a card on the tv screen, and then he guessed your card.

Holy smokes!!! I remember that!!! My family was watching the special together and my brother and I got into a fight over who got to touch the TV. Eventually I won out and my brother went to another TV in the house. He guessed both of our cards right.
The 7UP thing is really cool too!

How it works (from here)
Given a number, say 5892, its "digital root"
is found by adding its digits: 5 + 8 + 9 + 2 = 24
If the sum has more than one digit, add its digits:
2 + 4 = 6. The digit root of 5892 is 6.
If we scramble the digits, the digital root
is still 6.
Subtracting the two numbers, the digit root
of the difference will be 0 or 9.
(There is a lengthy reason for this ...)
When we omit a digit in the difference,
it can be easily determined.
For example: 5892 - 2598 = 3294
Note that the digital room of 3294 is 9.
If we omit the "2" and enter "394", the
digital root of 394 is 7.
Since the digit root was originally 9,
they know that a "2" was omitted.

So in short is it the larger number you typed minus the smaller equals what you circled?
