    I've freaked out quite a few people with this one. Some have come up with some pretty funky explanations as to how it works. Some still don't understand.

    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... :">

    Here is the answer, don't highlight the text if you don't want to know it.

    If it didn't work you added, or subtracted wrong. I figuared out how it works


    When ever you add the 2 digits together and subtract that sum, you end up with a multiple of 9. So, if you look at there graph of symbols, all multiples of 9 have the same symbol. Also, the symbols change each time, that is why the answer is different each time.


    EX.

    Counting by 9
    9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63,72,81...etc



    11: 1 + 1 = 2, 11 - 2 = 9
    32: 3 + 2 = 5, 32 - 5 = 27
    59: 5 + 9 = 14, 59 - 14 = 45


    I hope I didn't ruin this for anyone

    Yeah, this thing is always right.
    It ain't that spectacular because it restricts your choice to 2 digit numbers only.

    Now, if there is one of these that doesn't impose any restrictions on number choice, then I'll be stunned.

    it works with three digit numbers too. but then you had to make a list from 0 to 972 (min)
    and of course it works with all natural numbers - only the symbol list becomes bigger

    princip is still the same.
