Amaze Yourself: Try the Flash Mind Reader!

In summary, the website uses a psychic game to produce a result that always comes up as a multiple of 9. The symbols used in the game may seem random, but they are always the same for numbers that are multiples of 9. To find the symbol for a specific number, take the first digit and multiply it by 10, then subtract the sum of the two digits from that number. This will give you a multiple of 9, which corresponds to the symbol.

Can any of you out there explain how this works. I tried it a dozen times. It seems to always work!

the result always comes up as 82, 72, 63, 54, 45, 36, 33, 27, 22, 18, 9, or 0. They all have the same symbol

yomamma's on the right track. Everytime you come up with a number according to how they make you compute it, it is always a multiple of 9. So, every number that's a multiple of 9 will have the same symbol. Pretty tricky, eh?

Specifically, let x be the first digit of your number and y be the second digit. For instance, if you choose the number 52, then x = 5 and y = 2. Then the number you need to look up is:

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

For instance for 52, x = 5, y = 2. Add 5 and 2 for 7 and subtract it from 52:

52 - 7 = 45 = 9 * 5 = 9 * x

Nice going folks! Thanks. What makes this tricky is that the symbols seem to change randomly yet they are always the same for multiples of nine.
