Dang... 2nd time I attempted it the "mind-reader" came back with "9" as my
selected number and it was right.... My random # was 6891 ... I jumbled it
to 9186... subtracted with 2295 as result... circled the 9 and viola ... it
"guessed" I had circled that same number... dunno, but it still amazes me...
