Very cool.

So basically: the first imagine can be selected.
The second image is harder to select,
And the third one is 100% random.

Also, in the memory card game the last three cards on the bottom row are always mushroom, flower, star.

Neat stuff.

So the kid I knew who could get it every single time wasn't just good, but could affect the laws of probability?

Your friend was The Wiz

Maybe he was actually playing on another console hidden behind the TV stand, which had a Game Genie (pretty expensive for a party trick though)

The memory card game only had ~~four~~ eight different layouts, so by using deduction you could figure out which of the four was being presented to you at the time.

I still have the paper sketches of said memory game somewhere in my house. My mom would draw them to help us play the game (I was like 4 at the time)

It has 8 layouts.
Half of the video we're talking about explains why there are 8 layouts.

Apologies, it is indeed 8. I just found the sheets as well

No worries. Cool things like that are fun to learn, imo

The third image is indeed impossible to select reliably but there are ways to improve your chances.
