hold on one problem, actually, since there isn't a way to take it away after u've picked ur #, everyone will think i am cheating so i will just tell u the trick, look at all the top numbers, now when the person tells u what number they picked like say 11, but u dont know, and so they tell the rows, a, b, and d, add the top numbers of those rows, which equal eleven



and sry about the rows just look how far away the numbers are from the rite, and say if it was 3, it would be row c. i typed it with spaces, but it still turned out like that.

thank you, you tell the person to pick out a number and not to tell you, then tell them to say what rows the number they picked are in. then you are not going to look at the paper and you are going to tell them wat number they have chosen. you do this by remembering the first numbers of each row. now i am going to use 11 as an example. so they are going to tell you rows a, b, and c. then you add the first number of the rows given which are 1, 2 and 6 which add to eleven. the rows go doubling from the 1st thats an easy way to remember

first number of each row: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

A B C D E
1036 1543 1268 1784 1696
1333 1147 1565 2081 1993
1135 1444 1169 1685 2092
1432 1246 1367 1289 1498
1531 1345 1466 1586 2191

tell the person to pick a number from each row down, then you are amazingly going to solve it in about 3 to 5 seconds, while the person tells the nembers, remember the digits in the ones and add them as you go along, then after the person tells you all the numbes and you have the sum of the ones, see how far away that number is from 100, then the ones digit sum is your last to digits for the answer, and the number you get from seeing how far away the ones digit is away from 100 is your first two digits for the answer.

EXAMPLE: taking 1036, 1147, 1169, 1289, and 2191, the sum of the ones are 6+7+9+9+1=32, then that number is 68 away from 100, so your answer is 6832.
