I even did it by cheating, didn't even do the math stuff, just picked a symbol at random and it got it right...

Whoa... Pretty trippy. I've been trying to figure it out, using mathematics, (because I'm sure that's the secret) but I'm not coming up with anything... Maybe Caroline could help. I'll go sit in the "dummy" section. LOL

Tricky.

Every number beginning with 1 will produce the same answer... 10-1=9... 11-2=9... 12-3=9... and thus, they will all get the same picture.

Every number beginning with 2 will produce the same answer... 20-2=18... 21-3=18... 22-4=18... and the author picked the same picture for 18 as he did for 9.

and so on.

So no matter what you pick, there are only 9 possible answers... and each of those answers has the same picture.

Any combination will alway yield some multiple of 9, and all the 9 multiples have the same symbol, which is changed each time that you try the game.

edit -- PJ beat me to it (though he gives a much more complicated explanation).
The dogma lives loudly within me.

The original number is AB has a numeric value of 10A + B

If you subtract A+B you get 10A + B - (A+B)

or 10 A + B -A -B or 9A

IT was pretending to magically guess my answer before the gopher showed it, and IT got it right every time. ha!
