It's taking forever to load, so I'm not going to wait for it.

But anyway, is it that card trick game? The one where you pick one of five cards, and it correctly removes your card from the deck? If so, the solution becomes readily apparent after awhile: the cards you get the second time around are each different from the first set of cards. They look the same, but the suits have been switched -- thus, your card will never appear in the second hand.

I haven't come up with a formula or anything, but apparently if you add the two digits of any two-digit number together, and subtract that from the original number, the result is always a multiple of 9.

Haven't bothered to figure it out but also note the repeating symbols. As long as you follow the rules no matter which number you use for that particular try will share the same symbol.

93 :: 9 + 3 = 12 :: 93 - 12 = 81
56 :: 5 + 6 = 11 :: 56 - 11 = 45
78 :: 7 + 8 = 15 :: 78 - 15 = 63
11 :: 1 + 1 = 02 :: 11- 02 = 09

If you look at all those numbers, they will all have the same symbol. It's a math trick. Pretty neat though, had me goin for a bit. =)

hehehe its simple once you see the trick..... (took me over an hour) I was soooooooo amazed by it too!!

the trick is that the field of numbers on the right and the symbol next to each one changes everytime you reload the page...

No matter what Number you chose, you will always get the results of 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72 and 81.

z will always be a multiple of 9 less than or equal to 81.

Now, look at the Symbol for 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, and 81.

You will find that they are all the same. It just seems differrenct because the symbols reload differently..

It's the rule of 9.

Same thing goes if you are adding columns of numbers on a calculator or something, and you come to a different final number than the first time you summed the totals, if the difference between the two totals is divisible by 9, then you inverted 2 numbers while summing.

9's are neat and tricky like that.

Don't believe me:

Sum 12 + 97 + 38 + 45 + 60

Now sum 12 + 79 + 38 + 45 + 60

Difference in the 2 sums is 18 which is divisible by 9 which means you typo'd the 97 to 79 the second time!

yay math fun.

Works if you reverse any of the numbers in the above example.

What everyone else said about it being multiples of 9. :)

If you want to work it out, then define ...

x = the 10's digit of the number you choose
y = the 1's digit of the number you choose
z = the result of their calculation
(so if you chose 23 like in their example, x = 2, y = 3, z = 18 )

so you can state their formula as

10x + y - (y + x) = z
10x + y - y - x = z
10x - x = z
x(10-1) = z
9x =z

given that for a 2 digit number, x is an integer from 1 to 9, then the corresponding z values will be 9 to 81 in increments of 9, all of which positions as others have pointed out have the same symbol on the page.

I looked for some kind of trick but couldn't find it after 2 tries, my brother found the trick after 1 :(

For those who are mathematically challenged, try two separate numbers and compare the symbol. You'll notice they're the same.

I don't need to explain it. It's more amusing sitting back and watching you fumble all around the answer. I love your fucked up view on life. Your my Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

symbols change every page.. every two digit number that adds up to 9 has the same symbol.. EXCEPT 90 which is probably what throws people off until you realize 90 is an impossible number to come up with.

Ummm... Reality check. You're the dumb fuck that couldn't see the obvious. Trying to cover that up just makes you a retard AND a tool.
