What does it mean?

Hi teachers,

Would you help me with the following? I can't find them in the dictionary. It's not idioms or phrasal verbs.

1. You get your mind read?

2. Bravos ladies. You've got it down to a science.

Thanks

1. The sentence is very oddly written. "to read someone's mind" = to guess what the person is thinking.

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your help.

I looked at the caption, and the last word is "read". Is "You get your mind ready?" close? The guard is talking to a mentally ill patient while opening the gate.

Thanks

It's probably read. If a mentally ill person gets their mind read (and mind reading works) then that person is likely to wind up in a mental hospital.
