A few years ago this was shown to a mongoloid. Believe it or not - he
got it right away. Maybe you are not a mongoloid.

It's really quite simple. On the first screen, you are told to choose a
card. You are given the option of a King of Hearts, a Jack of Clubs, a King
of Spades, a Queen of Diamonds, a Queen of Clubs and a Jack of Diamonds.

David then shows you 5 cards on the second page and claims to have found
your card. It is true that your card has been removed, but so have the
other 5 possible choices from the first screen. If you look really close,
the 5 cards on the second screen are a Queen of Hearts, a King of Clubs, a
Jack of Hearts, a Queen of Spades, and a King of Diamonds. Not a single one
of those cards were on the first screen. Therefore, David never really
found your card. He just removed all of your choices and replaced them.

Hope I was able to explain it clearly.

We all think so, Gena.

Stay tuned for his next post - he's going to test the holding
strength of 12d nails vs. wire brads by using them to fasten marshmallows
together.

This is an old one. A family member passed it around a couple of years ago,
everyone was baffled by it! Took me about ten seconds to figure out that
none of the cards in the first group were in the second group!
Everyone remembers one card never all of them!
