Ok, go here and do what it says.  At first it seems like weird, and freeky.  But, with a little thought, you'll find it's all math (and basic math at that!).  How long does it take you to figure it out?

Then you did your math wrong.  If you do your math right, it will 'guess' it every time.

I picked the same number multiple times, and it got messed up. :P


Ok, give me a hint! :D

Ok, first hint ;)
Look at #s 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81.  They all have the same symbol.  The symbols change, but those numbers all have like symbols.
Then, choose any two numbers, and do the math that they say to do.  Do they have like or different symbol?  That should get ya going!

Ok, I'll finish it off.
Pick any number 90-99, do the math (add the two digits together, and subtract that from the first number), every time it will end up as 81.  Any number 80-89 will end up 72, every number 70-79 will end up 63, and so on.
So, they have those 9 numbers (81,72,63,54,45,36,27,18,9) have the same symbol, and there you have it!

Well, my dad, my brother, and I were working on figuring it out.
So, we decided to all choose a number, and see which one it would 'guess'.  Well, it guessed them all!  So, that got me thinking, and then it didn't take any time to figure it out after that.

Yeah, I've seen a similar one like this. Pretty cool, but very obvious once you look at it.

Im surprised it took you so long to figure out.  I knew that it couldnt read you mind, so I looked at it as a hoax. I noticed, as you did, that groups of numbers always had the same symbol.  And realized that there are only so many numbers that you can get.

Obviously it didn't read our minds, but I didn't give much thought into how it was able to guess. :P
