It's one of those "math tricks"/probability quizzes. they're pretty common but always fun.

Kind of like - think of an animal that starts with letter "k"

It is quite simple.

Look at the board. For each color there are 5 numbers. Lets say you pick red-5 (in your mind).

The next screen asks you to pick a color. This is critical. Once you do that, the program knows that one of five numbers is yours. In this case it is 13, 15, 5, 2, or 20 because those were the ONLY ones in red.

The next screen is the crystal ball and that's just to throw you off. It does nothing.

You are then presented with five "houses" each having 5 numbers. What you don't realize is that in each house there is only ONE number that was originally red. (It knows you chose a red number.) House A might have 13, B has 15, C has 5, and so on. So if you see your "5" in house C, and you click C, then it knows you picked 5 as that is the only (original) red number in that house!

It then shows three doors. Under each door is 5. You can't be wrong! After you see your 5 and you click one of the other two doors, it puts another number under it... makes no difference what since it will be by definition "wrong". It already "guessed" your number.

This is not rocket science. A P2P EIA or life settlement or a VUL is way harder to figure out!

It is easy to figure out. Figure it out while doing it the first time.

While these are always fun yet, this one was a bit simple. Hope you came up with better ones!

I wrote one similar to Eliza in 1983.

Eliza

Eliza was a classic. I first saw it in 1974. It is simple by today's standards but back then it was a "marvel" of artificial intelligence. Try it.

Yeah... this was pretty simple to figure out, but the presentation was pretty cool.
