Needs sound. For those who don't, this is what it's about. He says out a number and you have to move vertically or horizontally each time a number is called out. Eventually there will be one square left which hopefully your finger/mouse cursor will be on

(very last one he got it wrong with me

)

Right for me too. They don't usually work though so it was more of a good surprise than a disappointment!

Worked, bravo to that man.

Was right for me too, darn it. There has to be some sort of mathematical strategy for that which means you are more likely to be on the happy face...

I was hoping this would be a game in which you actually beat up a psycho

ps. He got it right for me, the git.

Worked for me.

No psychology at all. Think of the 3x3 grid as a checkerboard:

OXO
XOX
OXO

You start on 'O', and each individual move 'swaps' whether you are on O or X.
So after each sequence, he knows you whether you are on an O or X square, and he just chooses one of the other squares. (i.e. if he knows you're on O he takes an X square and vice-versa).

After he takes off 8 squares, there's only one place you can be.

I was about to argue this point, but I just tried it again, actively trying to beat it and couldnt, I think those who have must have got one move wrong, he just corners it off by removing squares that you cant be on because of the pattern, and reduces it down to the last 2 when you have to be on the Q and then gets you to move 1 more time
