It works only if your answer is a multiple of nine....

It's all math...

Whatever number you pick, after you do the subtraction, your number WILL BE a multiple of 9. On the screen with the symbols, check all the multiples of 9. They're all the same symbol.

It can't be wrong. Take 21 and do 21-(2+1) you get 18 (multiple of 9), take 22 -> 22-(2+2)=18, 23 -> 23-(2+3)=18 and so and so on. You will always get a multiple of 9 and the symbols are changing each time you play a new game.

If it doesn't show a symbol corresponding to the number you ended up with, then you made an error in your calculations.

Got it, noticed the symbols change each game, so you think it is choosing correctly, but it is always the multiple of nine that is picked.

Then you two did not follow the instructions correctly.

Each time you run through it changes the pattern of the symbols. The number you end up staring at, however, will always be a multiple of 9.
