Re: OMG Read this. Super Wierd (Dont know if its been posted already)
I agree, its like those "i know what number you thinking of" games, just simple arithmetic with a slight 'trick' to it, and this doesn't even have that much.
As has been said in The Wave and transcripts, numbers can be played around with ad infinitum to find 'weird' things. my birthday for example, is 22 feb, 1988, so adding the digits in the dd/mm/yy format, i get 2+2+2+0+8+8 = 22, my birthday again. but it only 'works' in just that format and also in the current calendar we use. if our calendar just happened to be counted a day earlier there would be no such coincidence, just like 11/11/11 wouldn't be the 'same' day as the 11/11/11 we are going to have.
Muxel said:All this "numerology" garbage that you get in forwarded emails can be exposed for the frauds they are by applying a bit of simple algebra.
(Last two digits of birth year) + (your age) = 111
(Last two digits of birth year) + (2011 – birth year) = 111
Taking "ABCD" to be any four-digit birth year
(Last two digits of birth year) + (2011 – ABCD) = 111
(ABCD – AB00) + (2011 – ABCD) = 111
"ABCD" cancels out, giving
2011 – AB00 = 111
Which only holds true when AB = 19
Therefore,
Anybody born in the 1900s would get a result of 111.
Anybody born in the 2000s would get a result of 011.
Anybody born in the 1800s would get a result of 211.
There are endless variations of this scam where you are asked to plug your birth year in, and it cancels itself out, thus giving you the illusion of personal input.
