It's important to note that it's not possible to read someone's mind, but you can use math and probability to create the illusion that you can. Here's how to appear to read someone's mind with numbers: 1. Ask the person to think of a two-digit number between 1 and 100. 2. Have them add the two digits together to get a new number. 3. Have them subtract the new number from the original number. 4. Ask them to remember the resulting number. 5. Tell them to look at the chart below and find the symbol that corresponds to their number. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | π | π | β‘οΈ | π | π | | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | | π | π | π | π΅ | πΆ | 6. Based on their chosen symbol, you can "read their mind" by making an educated guess about the number they were thinking of. For example, if they chose the symbol π, you could say, "You were thinking of the number 23, weren't you?" because the only two-digit number that results in a difference of 9 when you subtract the sum of its digits is 45 (4 + 5 = 9), and 45 corresponds to the symbol π on the chart. This trick works because there are only a limited number of two-digit numbers to choose from, and the chart is designed to correspond to every possible result of the calculations they perform. So as long as you're familiar with the chart and can perform the calculations quickly, you can appear to read someone's mind with numbers.
