Pretty neat. Not sure how it works. Any ideas? I`m sure there is a reasonable explanation. It`s freakin me out!

I know how it works and I proved my theory too. When you come to your final number after subtraction, your inclination is to move the mouse over the number that you came up with. I moved the mouse over to the side before the window even came up and it was wrong everytime

That`s not right....I`ve proved it wrong

. You might need to check your adding if it got it wrong...

BigLeegr has it spot on... but I won`t go into specifics...

the little laughing voice when it comes up with the answer is friggin creepy.

I did though figure out how it works and BigLeegr is absolutely right.

When you take a number, jumble around it`s digits and then subract the new number from the old, you are always going to get the sum of the digits of the difference is divisible by 9 (ignoring any negative).

When you give all but one of the digits (and knowing that the last one is not 0), the computer just takes the sum of the digits you gave it, and subtracts it from a multiple of 9 (so that the remainder is between 1 and 9).

it doesn`t make a difference what number you pick. The symbol is the same, but the freaky voice does do something for it

"J"

So I didn`t really get the explanations above, but this is how my friend explained it to me.

Any set of numbers - their individual sums = some divisor of 9...so...

22-4 = 18
23-5 = 18
24-6 = 18

30-3 = 27
31-4 = 27
32-5 = 27

etc

All the symbols for 9`s are the same...9, 18, 27, 36 etc. The reason you get different symbols every time is that they change the symbols every round, but they put the same one for each 9/18/27/etc...

Hope that helped
