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

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
