As Hans says:
Spoiler
Powers of two. If you look at the number at the top left of the card it is 1,2,4,8,16 ...
If you choose a number, then select a number then add the top left hand corner numbers for each card it it appears on, they will add up to the number. Classic Victorian parlour trick brought into the 21st century :cheers:
