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.

I did it 3 times got it right each time. G/F twice and it got them also. Different symbol on 4 of those occasions :blink:

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.

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.

I tried it. It was wrong.

Yeah it picked the wrong number for me too..

Then you two did not follow the instructions correctly.

I did it 3 times got it right each time. G/F twice and it got them also. Different symbol on 4 of those occasions :blink:

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.

Yeah, got it a bit ago.

Pick a 2 digit number. add the two digits and then subtract them from the first number. the answer will always be one of the following:

9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81

Did it four times to spot recurring symbols... actually every time it showed me the same symbol so when that was established I moved on to testing the maths (before I read past the first post, mind), and what the others are saying checks out. So I'll be chiming in with my "if you suck at maths you'll think you fooled it". What John said is right. Try to disprove it all you like, but you'll be laughed at. ;P

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
