Mathemagical understanding

I'm wondering about the level of mathematical understanding on my friends list.

Go here and check out both the magical puzzle and my explanation.

Then come back here and tell me if my explanation made sense to you.

Ditto. I'd also have to be bothered to work it out - which generally wouldn't be the case!

ditto.. not trivial, but would ahve figured it quite quickly

but would have explained it slightly differently, as the algebra for a lot of people is just as confusing as the puzzle.
