    I've seen ones like this before.

    But they are actually really simple to figure out: all the possible answers have the same symbol.

    Look at the page of symbols, where it says "look at the one you picked for 10sec", and choose another two digit number....add them together....and subtract from the original number....

    And you will see that any two numbers you do this with all have the same symbol.

    PS; I know i haven't explained very clearly, but do what i said and look at the symbols page and pick new numbers and you will see what i mean.

    The answer will always be a multiple of 9.

    Do you have flash installed? Its seems to be a flash driven site.

    I think its pretty cool although I found it a bit spooky at first.

    I did 48 tries.
    7x different symbol every time the right one.

    Freaky

    Edit: Last time it failed

    Last time your maths failed

    Take any two digit number
    Add the numbers together
    subract that from the orginal number

    Answer will be divisible by nine... always

    It is spooky until you catch on though

    It's based off of the theorem that any two digit number minus its digits added together (ex 28 - [2+8] = 18; or 78 - [7+8] = 63 will equal a multiple of nine. Then every time it changes the symbol it uses for multiples of nine.

    Well done folks, I knew it had something to do with math, but I never fared too well in that class.
