Lorian Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Seen it before, can't remember how it works though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaevictis_Music Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Simple enough. Once you've made the subtraction, you will always end up with a number which is a multiplication of 9 (9, 18, 27, etc.) The reason for this is that whatever number you choose, if you had chosen the number 1 higher, you would also end up subtracting 1 more - hence, the number from 20 to 29 all land you on 18, 30-39 land you at 27, etc.So in the table, they simply insert the same symbol on all of the possible end numbers. It randomizes which symbol is the 'magic' one, though, for that extra 'creepiness' factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yep. It's quite a nice trick imo, they had me going for a while until I figured out the pattern and that the symbol is changed each time you try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 (clever but simple ...2 digits a and bab - ( a + b ) = 10a + b - a - b = 10a - a + b - b = 9a ... all answers are to be divided by 9 ... and all numbers that are "9-dividable" have the same symbol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenratiophi Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 all answers are to be divided by 9 ... and all numbers that are "9-dividable" have the same symbol ←Except 99 and 90, which are only possible if a=10 or 11 (impossible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 (ah yes, I didn't even see that there was 90 and 99 ... well, whatever, people understood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
