They succeed because they play not work or try to prove anything. It's a game. If you're having difficulty with it you're not doing it with a sense of play.
I remember playing the dictionary game and instead of location the page number popped into my mind. It was correct. And after 3 successful hits I thought yeah right I can't do that all the time so I thought of a word and of course it wasn't in the dictionary.
When activating I open books to the page with the answer. I've done it in front of students at my seminar. I gave an example of a activation question I might have for the book and flipped open the book and showed them how I would activate the page using superreading and dipping. My students noticed I opened the book to the page with the answer. This is one reason I still love activating physical books.
Just do it. Play lightly and keep it playful. I didn't have anything vested in opening the right page. I was just demonstrating the benefit of having a question you want answered and then superreading and dipping to get the answer quickly.
