This Kills Me

Yeah, but you can't make it work with a 1 digit number. :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

that is right :lol: :lol: :lol:

i didn't recognize that, because my email notifier was over the ZERO in the list, so i didn't see that there is a "WRONG" symbol.

so they had to fix this :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tried it three times and it was wrong three times... the fourth time it was correct though.

EDIT: damn this hangover... it was just me... :">

did you not read what dwightfry wrote? :rolleyes:

but if you like, i will give you a mathematical proof of it. and i am sure, then it becomes clear :rolleyes:

I only knew the solution because I had seen the puzzle last week . :lol:

That&#39;ll teach me not to read things properly :wacko:

ok .... i think it&#39;s time now: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

let x,y element of {0,1,2,...,9}
then 10x + y is any one or two digit number.

and now we make the calculation they want:

10x + y - (x+y) = 9x ;)

the symbol list failed for x=0 (exept of the :-), cause the symbol for 0 is not changing with the symbols for 9,18,...,81.
so they had to integrate the symbol for 0 to let it work for one digit numbers too :)

now you are able to proof, that this works for ANY natural number :D :D :D
