| | | | | (...) I try to fake it out by clicking the circle a few times with no number in mind, then I do the actual 'pick a number...' thing as per instructions and every single time it shows the proper symbol. I've done it 10 times now and it's 10 for 10. (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
