Mind Reader by Jerry Atkinson, Snowville, UT
Here is a clever little treat for Level 1. It will read your mind, and you do not have to input any other numbers except the seed number in line 3. You READE just push enter, and keep track of your numbers mentally. The computer will tell you the answer!
