A friend of mine is writing a Tcl/Tk script (a Sudoku app) and wants to incorporate sound in it. Tcl/Tk does not have direct sound support, but it can call other applications just fine. The problem is, in the Windows environment, every wave player app we can think of wants to pop open a window with ...

Simple proof:

The math required:

n1*10 + n0 - (n1+n0) = n1*10 - n1 +n0 - n0 = n1*9

All of the icons for n1*9 (where n1 is an integer) are the same.
