It generates a new table each time, but is setup that no matter which number you pick, the same symbol is always the outcome.

From 99 to 90, the outcome is always 81, from 89 to 80, the outcome is always 72, from 79 to 70, the outcome is always 63, etc etc. So if it assigns the same symbol to 81, 72, 63 etc, it's always right.

The person who wrote this is counting on you to click on the original # you guessed. The math is done and the symbol you expect is displayed.

If you don't click, a random symbol is displayed.

Stop clicking with wanton/nervous abandon and it won't work>

graziano,
hehe nice link for kiddies ...
actually when digits of a number is
subtracted from the original number , resulting number is always divisible by 9 :-)
so it it is the round shape in all numbers divisible by 9 ,,, just see diagonally upward starting from left bottom same number is there....
this is the reason graziano... how it works...

Hey guys… seems we have a solution for the mind game…

If u see.. the numbers tht u subtract they always are multiples of 9. And also.. all the multiples of 9 in the given chart have the same symbol.. if you observe, 45, 18, 9 , 27 all have the same symbol.

The symbol changes so as to confuse the person. The symbols for 90 and 99 will be different coz you will never arrive at these numbers.

And if the final number you arrive at is not a multiple of 9, then the answer you get will definitely be wrong.

For example, numbers from 70-79 will never work as you will always get 83 after you solve them and 83 is not a multiple of 9… the answer symbol you get is wrong.

So it doesn't make any difference in the number is 99 or 10. As long as you get 9 as a factor of the final answer … the puzzle rules your mind.. otherwise.. who can beat the humans…

It's guaranteed to work (even in the range 70-79). The digital root (N mod 9 - ever heard of "casting out the nines?") of a number is equal to the digital root of the sum of its digits. Therefore, when you subtract the sum of its digits from the number, you get a result that has a digital root of 0 (0 mod 9). Well, those are multiples of 9. If it doesn't appear to work, you made a mistake!
