We have tried very hard to fool it but it always comes up the right one! Spooky......

its always a multiple of 9... they change the symbols everytime, but its always a multiple of 9, which are all the same

[auzzie]

Am i being a bit thick, how does it know what symbol?

[fly258]

The answer will always be a multiple of 9. The symbols next to 9 or a multiple there of, are the same. The program knows this symbol.

well i did it 4 times and not once did it come up with the right symbol,i must be doing it wrong

[Loosehead]

It's as old as the hills, it's called "casting out nines" the 2 guys above explain the symbols perfectly.

Norman, you've drank enough tonight! The arithmetic centre is failing.

Wow! The symbol my number corresponded to is also my birth sign - double spooky!

[auzzie]

Makemesmile, put the number on the lottery. Good luck : )
