seems like only certain numbers are possibilities...and those numbers all have the same symbol...it just changes it each time...

The digits added together of each 10's, e.g. 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, and all the other 90's all equal 81 with their respective digits subtracted, you'll find this is true for each remaining ones. And this leaves the layout with the symbol you're going to choose in a diagonal layout with a couple extra occurences of it ;)

Damnit, I was going insane until I read kjordan2001s explaination :wacko:

Heh, yeah, I kept going for weird explanations like there was a java applet tracking what I put my mouse over since I kept putting my mouse on the numbers, but when I didn't start doing that, I got suspicious and tried to figure out the pattern...and of course it was the number thing...unless it's really just reading our minds like Spyder says :ninja: :alien: :blink:

:laugh: i was thinking the same thing too.

And this leaves the layout with the symbol you're going to choose in a diagonal layout with a couple extra occurences of it ;)

In other words, the answer will always be a multiple of 9, eg 81, 72, 63......9 and that is the symbol. Nothing hugely complicated about that

eg:- Take number 43 then subtract 4 then 3 leaving 36

As that is a multiple of 9 it will have the same symbol as 9 and this is the symbol revealed when you click the box

Hope this clears up any confusion

Oh btw, some of the posts above asking for help are probably sarcastic ones, but ah! I've given a more simple solution

It's easy... don't mind what number you think.. the mathematical procedure always will return one of these numbers: 0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 42, 45, 54, 63, 70. 72, 75, 80 or 81...

If you're observative... the simbol on these numbers.. is the same!!.. when you start again the game, the simbols changes, ;)

jojo.. easy... :)

uhmm,, sorry for my english... :blink:

When you subtract the digits from each set of 10's, it comes out to be the same number for each set:

99 - 9 - 9 = 81

98 - 9 - 8 = 81

97 - 9 - 7 = 81

....

....

....

....

90 - 9 - 0 = 81

89 - 8 - 9 = 72

88 - 8 - 8 = 72

87 - 8 - 7 = 72

....

....

80 - 8 - 0 = 72

and so on...and as ramesees pointed out, all multiples of 9, so that's the reason why they're in a diagonal shape. Just look at the diagonal, it's a different symbol each time, but it's still there.

lol i figured it out in the first 5 seconds. :no:

I figured it out pretty quick, but as a programmer (wanna-be), I looked for something that would be hidden inside, such as someone moving a mouse over (which I'm guessing most people did) But it turned out to be simple mathematics :rolleyes:

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).
