An Exercise in self observation

Can you watch yourself think? It’s a useful skill. Useful enough to spend some time trying to learn, and since we learn by practicing… here’s an exercise.

The internet is filled with a new form of ‘magic tricks’ - a particularly good one is located here: http://www.quizyourprofile.com/guessyournumber.swf

So… the challenge here is - watch yourself ’solve this’ and post the running commentary that went on in your mind as you puzzled your way towards understanding what’s going on. It’s ‘obviously’ not magic - but what is it?

If we get a dozen responses - then we’ll have a nice little collection of problem solving thought. Good luck.
