well the last one worked using the nine times table. i havent bothered to look at this one yet. maybe it is magic
If it was to use the nine times table, wouldn't you get the same symbol all of the time though??
You see, it IS magic.

oh this one does as well. which ever two numbers you pick, following the instructions will result in an answer that is in the 9 times table. 9, 18, 27, etc etc
All of these numbers in the chart have the same symbol, so the ball will always be right. If you refresh the page I expect that the images change around, but all the 9 times table ones will ALL change to the same symbol.
9 times tables have lost their appeal in the last 10 years.
Apparently if you send him £2 he tells you how it works.....
I'm not sending anyone two quid just for them to tell me "err... well you see mate, it's magic, innit"

no you wouldnt get the same one, cos every time you refresh the page it changes the symbol that will be revealed, and it also changes all the 9 times table numbers so they all have that symbol too. check the chart.

welll i just told you how it works, so you can just send me £1.50 cos i'm undercutting him
Bah! Using maths to ruin magic also lost its appeal 10 years ago.
Just noticed the refresh/symbol change thing. whoops.
When i was in Bosnia (Clang), we were bored very often so we started sending off for things in the back of the paper (Big Slipper, Fur lined boots, Comfortable Gentlemens Slacks etc) the best one was when we sent a fiver to the advert that says "send us a fiver and we'll tell you how to become a millionaire" we eagerly awaited the return, and sure enough, when it came back the contents of the envelope were a sheet of A4 with the words "To become a millionaire, put an advert in the back of the paper asking people to send you a fiver in return for info on how to become a millionaire".
We were deeply impressed.

in that song do they say beaver?
i cant remember how the rest goes but if it says beaver it is highly amusing
Well someone said they saw Har Mar Superstar at the weekend, sorry i thought it was you.
I was out in bosnia on an international sponsored shitty country tour, boy did i see some shitty countries, Bosnia,Croatia,Serbia,FYROM,Albania,Northern Greece,The rest of greece,Slovakia,Slovenia (in fact slovenia was pretty good really. not a patch on Hungary though. everyone should go to Hungary)
nope not me mate i drank good beer then fell down :-)
Funnily enough, so did i...and in Edinburgh nae less!
Go to nibblers web site, you can see pics of me making a tit of myself. In fact, dont bother, just take me word for it.
It was me that saw Har Mar. Except it was Sunday.
I knew it was someone...and was he good? There is a possiblity that i will see him on Friday night. Just wanted to know whether it was worthwhile leaving the pub to watch him.
Yeah, saw him supporting the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (who, incidentally are The Best Band You Will Ever See, well they won me over). I thought he was really cool. But my opinion isn't reliable as I'm a Prince fan anyway. He sounds like a mix between Prince, Stevie Wonder (he even did a cover of Sir Duke), Fischerspooner and Fat Bastard off that Austin Powers film. My mates didn't seem too keen but I thought the guy was cool. Could've done without seeing him prance about in his kecks though.
Prince fan!!?!? Ok, enough..thanks though.
He ended every song with "Give me a hand, I'm fucking amazing!" so he rules.
LOL..i do like the sound of that though.
