The answer to the puzzle is always a number that can be divided by nine or nine itself. These numbers all have the same symbol  [Y]

But how does it know what symbol you are looking at, there are so many different numbers it could be??

My brain hurts!

[st3ph3n]

Take any two digit number, subtract those two digits from it and you will always get a multiple of 9.

For instance: 23 - 2 - 3 = 18, 24 - 2 - 4 = 18, 38 - 3 - 8 = 27 etc. etc. etc.

If you look at the board of symbols 9, 18, 27, 36 etc. will be the same symbol, so no matter what two digit number you go for you'll always be chosing the symbol they want you to chose.

To confuse matters the "magic symbol" is not the same every time the game is played, the board with symbols and numbers is always different.

That help?

The only answere it can ever be, all have the same symbol ..

At the start you are asked to pick a random two digit number, here are a few :

68 53 23

Next you are asked to add the two numbers together, then subtract that figure away from your two number :

68 - add them together = 14 - take 14 away from 68 = 54

53 - add them together = 8 - take 8 away from 53 = 45

23 - add them together = 5 - take 5 away from 23 = 18

Now you can see a pattern ...it does not matter what two numbers you pick, it will lead you back to your 9 x table, you will see that all these numbers have the same symbol :

0 9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90 99

The other version I played ignored 0, 90 and 99 as any two digit number (10-99) will only result in an answer of 9 to 81. 10 - 1 = 9, 99 - 9 - 9 =  81.

Ahhhh right the board changes each number divisable by 9 symbol so that it makes it look as though its a different symbol everytime?? Clunk, that's the penny dropping!

[z1000]

Much clearer now thought i was going mad as i got a different symbol every time.

God that is very freaky!
