| 105014 | 2002-12-11 03:40:00 | Think it has to do with the magic number 9! :) | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 105015 | 2002-12-11 03:57:00 | The formula creates a modulo 9 type result, and notice that the symbols change each attempt, but every 9th one is the same, and will be returned as the result. | godfather (25) | ||
| 105016 | 2002-12-11 04:02:00 | You don't have as many options as you think ;) 10*(first digit)+second digit=the number e.g for 54 10*5+4=54 Now, final number=the number - first digit - second digit. i.e. the number = final number +first digit + second digit Subbing this into the first equation gives you. 10*(first digit)+second digit = final number +first digit + second digit Which boils down to 9*(first digit)=final number In other words the final calculated number is always 9 times the first digit. It must be 9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81. Have a look, these always have the same symbol :-) |

| 105017 | 2002-12-11 04:02:00 | no matter what 2 digits u're thinking .. at the end you'll end up with 9 or it's multiples eg. 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 ...etc. they all have the same symbols :D |

| 105019 | 2002-12-11 05:09:00 | this is quite ingenious. | vk_dre (195) | ||
