There was an old flash game, where you had, I think 100 objects (signs) on the screen. You had to look at one of them, and pressing the button would reveal what you were looking at. It was surprising as it never made a mistake: there was also no camera connected to the PC that would do some eye tracking and stuff.

Does anybody have the game or know where to get it or what's the name?

i'm intrigued! i wonder if it was one of those where the 'psychology' of our attention was being used by clever design to lead us to look at particular places while we thought we were being 'random'

if its remembered i wonder if its on flashmuseum or similar, i sometimes think about all those flash, java applet and other web games as well as older cell phone games now seemingly lost - in a way that is even more 'lost' than old dos games

(for some reason, every no I choose in the game turns up with a flower entry. EIther its a mathematical data based game or I have to think of a better number)

It's a simple math trick. The result of the given calculation is a limited set of numbers which are all listed and tagged with the same symbol... and the program always shows the same symbol. Nothing about "mind reading".

Hm yes, I was 10 at that time so I didn't notice it then
