I've tried it three times now and it tells the right symbol every time, how does it work?

I've tried it three times now and it tells the right symbol every time, how does it work?
The symbols are on the chart more than once, and thats all i can remember.
Try doing it, without clicking the button, and get 2 different symbols. You can't.
EX:
75 7+5=12 75-12 =63
74 7+4=11 74-11 =63
73 7+3=10 73-10 =63
There is no way to get 64 or 62, Hence, 63 (and the symbol that is on it) is the only answer.
It's leading you to 1 conclusion, by changing the possible symbols, but not the outcome.
You literally cannot fail to pick what is given by the button.
81, 72, 63, 54, 45, 36, 27, 18, 9, and 0 always give the answer.
"You literally cannot fail to pick what is given by the button."
Unless you screw up the math. It's a cool trick none-the-less.
Neat trick, made even trickier by them switching the symbols on the winning numbers whenever you try again. Insidious, and I'm proud of them for it.

That took me way too long to figure out.
I know the trick now, symbols will change every time you will press "try again". In each round, each substract will give you the same symbol.
Ex. 99 (9+9) = 18 [99-18] = 81
98 (8+9) = 17 [98-17] = 81
97 (9+7) = 16 [97-16] = 81
89 (8+9) = 17 [89-17] = 72
88 (8+8) = 16 [88-16] = 72
87 (8+7) = 15 [87-15] = 72
39 (3+9) = 12 [39-12] = 27
35 (3+5) = 8 [35-8] = 27
31 (3+1) = 4 [31-4] = 27
81, 72 and 27 always have the same symbol
It's multiples of 9.
Not that hard to figure out.
You see? ;)
Neet trick, but you can tell it's a mathematical trap. Still alotta fun. It'll stump the morons to think Macromedia has a built in "mind-reading" spec.Quote:
