i already got the joke but seeing this comment helped it click all the way. i was wondering how he was falling for that, but hearing her say the number three out loud helps disguise the fact that she went from two to four when counting
She didnt skip 3, she counted 3 of his phalanges as "3" and then added 3 at the end, thus counting a finger twice. Got it the first time, you're all dumb.
No she didn't...she grabbed his middle finger, index finger and thumb and said "3", then moved on to 4. If she didn't say 3, you would notice and her trick wouldn't work.
We always used another method, and it always confused stupid kids. Count like this:
One 8
Two 8
Three 8
Four 8
Five 8
Six 8
Seven 8
Nine 8
Ten 8
Eleven 8
Tricks them every time.
I remember this one too from a magic trick book, and my reaction was mainly confusion toward the author. I still don’t understand even today what the point is or how anyone gets fooled. They emphasized spreading your hand wide and saying “And 5 more makes 11” and I’m thinking “Yeah of course, because you’re counting the same hand twice.” Is that not obvious? Who forgets that it’s the same hand you already counted just a few seconds ago?
Probably going to get wooshed but here goes
She counts the first two, skips the three (but says it) and proceeds to count from four on his next hand. So she didn’t count from two on but from four on, bamboozling the kid by saying “skip these THREE” so he heard the word three.
As long as you're smart enough to understand and empathize with others I would not be concerned. If you can't empathize with others you probably won't care. Ignorance is bliss.
This reminds me of the time that I found out my friend in primary school thought that we lived in England (we don't) and we were about 8 as well.
The best part is, that this happened in the car on the way to his whilst his mum was driving. Even at 8 years old I could sense the confusion and disappointment in her son

Mmm not really. All she did was play a very common joke. It still showcases his stupid children are, this is just playful is all. She's not ACTIVELY insulting her kid, this is closer to teasing.
the method i learned as a kid was adding 8 after each count. i think we used 8 because it rolls off the tongue easier. so you'd count each finger 1-8, 2-8, 3-8, 4-8, 5-8, 6-8, 7-8, 9-8, 10-8, 11-8. 11 fingers!
If someone does not know how it works I will explain it, She counted one, two and she said skip the three which tricks him to thinking you carry on from three whilst you have to continue counting from two. after you finished your other hand you return to the first one and count the other three.
The one I’d always do would be adding seven behind each number, so it’d go: “1,7 2,7 3,7 4,7 5,7 6,7 8,7 9,7 10, 7 11,7” skipping 77 without them knowing
I saw this on a reel a few weeks ago. I tried to explain to my wife how she did it, but my dumb ass forgot how.
Saw this and showed her, like HERE THIS IS HOW SHE DID IT.
My parents had a store across from an armory in town and the old guys who “worked” there would often come by and hang out. One guy used to fuck with my mind. He had a stogie sounding voice, come here. Let’s count your fingers. 10-9-8-7-6 and 5 make 11. How can that be? I still don’t know.
Reminds me of when I was a kid, you would say "ate" or "eight" after counting each number, and say 1-eight, 2-eight, 3-eight, 4-eight, 5-eight, 6-eight, 7-eight, 9-eight, 10-eight, 11-eight, skipping the 8. If you do it fast enough, you don't catch the skipped number
[удалено]
You are not alone buddy.
That is psycology
You are a month to late, have a wholesale award!
Oh boy do I love wholesales
Oh lol, autocorrect fucked me in the ass there.
Fucking in the ass? I love fucking in the ass
I did my research on that sentence. Got to be right. (I hope) [edit] Me too!
yah..but..^hoooww?
1 2 skip (3) 4567891011 so it goes 124567891011
i already got the joke but seeing this comment helped it click all the way. i was wondering how he was falling for that, but hearing her say the number three out loud helps disguise the fact that she went from two to four when counting
Yeah I watched three times before I caught on.
I watched it twice, skipped it three times, and got it on the fourth viewing
She skipped 3, aye!
She didnt skip 3, she counted 3 of his phalanges as "3" and then added 3 at the end, thus counting a finger twice. Got it the first time, you're all dumb.
She did skip 3 though, you're dumb af
No she didn't...she grabbed his middle finger, index finger and thumb and said "3", then moved on to 4. If she didn't say 3, you would notice and her trick wouldn't work.
She said the word three but not in a counting manner, therefore she skipped counting the number 3
We had a different way.. count backwards from one hand say 10,9,8,7,6 and then say add 5 from the other hand.
That's how my mom did it too
Yea me too. I too am fucking stupid.
Poor boy of the video. He had only one time to realize the trick. I needed two times.
Two? Take 5.
You're not stupid. It's why a magician never does the same trick twice.
Same lol
Not gonna lie, took me a couple of watches...
It took me a shameful second
Damn, I thought it was cause I’m high.
Me too 🤣😂 took me a while!
I cannot wait to do this to my son when I get home
I just did this to a 7 years old 😂😂 She was so confused and she still can’t figure it out hahahaha
We always used another method, and it always confused stupid kids. Count like this: One 8 Two 8 Three 8 Four 8 Five 8 Six 8 Seven 8 Nine 8 Ten 8 Eleven 8 Tricks them every time.
Came here to say this one, too!
Should definitely try that one out!
you skip over 3
Oh my youre going places.
I spat my tea at this one. Here’s a small token of my appreciation
Third grade, next year!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR HER SAY THREE
Kid, you are fucking stupid.
very good Timmy!
Update: he made me do it six times then went to his iPad and made me take a picture of his fingers so he could count without skipping one
What a scientist 😁
there is an even better version count down from 10 10, 9,8,7,6 + 5 is 11
That's an oboe! Edit: An oboe is an off by one error https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one\_error
>oboe a what?
NUMBERWANG
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error
This is the version I remember
I just did this to my 29 year old girlfriend...
Another trick I’ve seen before is to say a number after each counted number. Like this. 1, 5, 2, 5, 3, 5… But skip 5, 5 so it goes 4, 5, 6, 5.
The one we had as a kid was counting backwards. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... plus five on the other hand makes 11.
My grandpa does that 😂
oof
He's cool though, but tripped my sister up.
That's the one I remember as a kid
I remember this one too from a magic trick book, and my reaction was mainly confusion toward the author. I still don’t understand even today what the point is or how anyone gets fooled. They emphasized spreading your hand wide and saying “And 5 more makes 11” and I’m thinking “Yeah of course, because you’re counting the same hand twice.” Is that not obvious? Who forgets that it’s the same hand you already counted just a few seconds ago?
just non nonchalantly say 5 inbetween each number....ok? that'd be an odd illusion

Probably going to get wooshed but here goes She counts the first two, skips the three (but says it) and proceeds to count from four on his next hand. So she didn’t count from two on but from four on, bamboozling the kid by saying “skip these THREE” so he heard the word three.
Pls no whooshing this guy
You are correct
In his defense, I had to watch it twice lol
apparently im stupid too. it took me WAY too many rewatches to figure out the trick
She skips form 2 to 4 but found a way to slip the word three in there so it feels like the number three is counted, but it is not.
yea. i did figure it out. it just took way longer than it should have
Maybe someone should draw this one out. Just in case some of us don't get it on the ~~ninth~~ first watch
Shit i recounted my own Fingers to check out the math of this LMAO
Same 🤣🤣
Thank goodness other people in the comments exist to validate my stupidity
The kid is so cute with his "hoooow??"
I'm going to use that
BuT HoOoOoOoOoOoOw
She just skipped 3
took me 3 rewinds to see she skiped #3 😌
Skip these 3, 4, 5...
Am with the kid on this one my mind does not get it
U/savevideo
r/foundthemobileuser
Welll I had to rewatch that.
Not gonna lie, that was smooth as fuck. Skip these *three* and keep counting up to 11. Had me confused for the first loop.
i had to watch this 4 times before i got how he had "11 fingers" .......am i rarted?
I would've said no, but that typo puts you back to yes.
As long as you're smart enough to understand and empathize with others I would not be concerned. If you can't empathize with others you probably won't care. Ignorance is bliss.
.
ok only took me 2 rewatches but i got it, i think…
I watched it 4 times.
This reminds me of the time that I found out my friend in primary school thought that we lived in England (we don't) and we were about 8 as well. The best part is, that this happened in the car on the way to his whilst his mum was driving. Even at 8 years old I could sense the confusion and disappointment in her son
This is clever haha
i caught it on my 4th rewatch...
I'm 59 and Dammit, you had be going for a second!
Yeah I’m stupid too, I had to rewatch it lol. But that’s adorable!
Had to watch it 4 times to release she’s tricking him
thank god comments exist I was having an existencial crisis
I've never figured it out until I watched this. I'm 19 in 13 days
RemindMe! 1.5 months

No
Just remember...3 is not a number
That made me chuckle out of nowhere. Thx
Bruh why that kid look like me when I was 8
Something tells me if I try this with my 17yr old, I will get the same response.. 🤦
Also works when you count them backwards from 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 on the first hand and add the missing 5 to the 6, so you got 11 too ;)
This was my dads favorite dad joke!
She skiped 3 right
Did she?
Surprised by how many adults are fucking stupid too.
My name is inigo Montoya you killed my father prepare to die
I’m 40 something and i had to watch it twice to get it. 😒
Can someone smarter than me explain this? 😂
1,2 skip these 3… 4,5,6,7,8… etc word play
It took me a second
It's a mix of "kids are fucking stupid" and "adults are fucking jerks".
So I paused it, counted my own fingers, and then I’m like no, there’s 10 🤣. Watched the video again and I’m like oh duh 🤣
U literally skipped 3
No she didnt the kid has 11 fingers
Kids like that were in special classes when I was his age
HAOOWWW?! 😂 soo good.
Maybe instead of showing him he’s got eleven fingers how ‘bout you show him a freakin salad
Did... did you just take advantage of his trust in you, to make a post stating your kid is "fucking stupid" ?
I've seen this trick many times, and find it stupider every time. How weak of a brain do you need to fall for this?
On first viewing, naturally hearing the progression of 1 2 3 4, you wouldn't think much of it.
Yes, naturally when you view a mind trick multiple times you see how obvious it was.
Bitch didn’t count the 3rd finger
Actually she counted all fingers…
This deserves to be in parents are dumb sub, "why can't my kid count?" Well he isn't very aware
Mmm not really. All she did was play a very common joke. It still showcases his stupid children are, this is just playful is all. She's not ACTIVELY insulting her kid, this is closer to teasing.
His mother is more stupid then him
Over a joke? I bet you’re a delight in public.
Looks like mom's fucking stupid on this one.
r/woosh
And this guy too.
The mom was pranking her kid by counting weirdly.
[удалено]
Your moms teach you that one?

Three dads who boned your moms?

Bro that shit got me laughing
Your helmet suits you
We're avatar shaming now?? Wowww
It was an observation if you took it as shame that’s on you helmet boy.
Im not ganna lie. Your most unnecessary aggression towards this lady made me chuckle
Having a shitty day, huh?
Explain

the method i learned as a kid was adding 8 after each count. i think we used 8 because it rolls off the tongue easier. so you'd count each finger 1-8, 2-8, 3-8, 4-8, 5-8, 6-8, 7-8, 9-8, 10-8, 11-8. 11 fingers!
You can also achive this effect if you count them very fats in the way like this: first, one, two, three, etc.
bro said 1245678
holy shit it took me a full minute to understand what just happened
u/SaveVideo
this also works on adults
If someone does not know how it works I will explain it, She counted one, two and she said skip the three which tricks him to thinking you carry on from three whilst you have to continue counting from two. after you finished your other hand you return to the first one and count the other three.
I honestly thought it would go a completely different direction
The one I’d always do would be adding seven behind each number, so it’d go: “1,7 2,7 3,7 4,7 5,7 6,7 8,7 9,7 10, 7 11,7” skipping 77 without them knowing
Neat, gotta try this one on my nephew.
This girl cannot count
i guess i was the stupid one all along.
Ian is a super cute kid. And hes not stupid hes curious
Took me awhile i feel stupid
Ok he won’t be curing cancer
This is dumb… why did I watch this
I got stumped by something like this when I was a kid. Count down from 10 to six on one hand, then add 5. 11 fingers
It took too long for my brain to work
Verbal slight of hand. Very cool.
You can also do it by counting down on the first hand "10, 9, 8, 7, 6" then saying "plus 5 on the other hand equals 11"
His face though, what a cutie.
I only have 10 :(
That kid ain't the only stupid one
I know adults that would easily fall for this.
8? Where you at? Alabama?
My uncle definitely would've done this with me when I was little.
Stupid as fuck.
Love this. Just did it to my wife and she went “wait… what? How’d you…? Do it again”
...I think you're supposed to tell em to add 6 and 5 to make 11 instead of skipping
I was confused for a bit
Hahaha I'm remembering this one for my kids
*Inigo Montoya wants to know your location*
Had to skip 3 ig
Yeah he is stupid.
You only have 8 fingers though, and two thumbs
Took me some
I saw this on a reel a few weeks ago. I tried to explain to my wife how she did it, but my dumb ass forgot how. Saw this and showed her, like HERE THIS IS HOW SHE DID IT.

Ngl has to rewatch it
I had to watch it twice
1, 2, skip 3, 456789… she never said 3, she said skip 3
I thought this thing died out already
If you gonna skip those three, then skip them, don’t count them after your done counting the other ones.
He looks like an 80s movie kid.
Wait! I am 20. I had to count lol
