Okay, just give this a try. It's fantastic! I tried it more than three times, and i tried having my brother try it out later as well. And it has always been correct.
Am i an internet country bumpkin to believe that this is a program than can read your mind? Does anyone know how this is done? I certainly don't, but that's okay, i'm not up to hacker level or have any degree of writing software. _________________ Guardian of Greenhill & Devoted Protector of Oulan

It's Magic Math and the trick of flash.
For example, Take the problem the gopher gives you. It's always work, but the symbol changes. If you think about it with the rules they give you only a set amount of numbers will work correctly. Everyone of those share the same sign, the signs change giving it a randomness to distract people form figuring that out. _________________

LeBlanc, Maybe and as mean as it sounds can't do math? ^^ But seriously, if you followed the rules and you add and subtract correctly, it'll work. _________________

0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81 are all the correct numbers even more all are multiples of 9 which really makes it easy ^^. Following the method they give you these are the only answers you can come to without making a mistake in the math. Everyone of these share the same sign. What I like about this is that they were smart enough to make sure that some wrong numbers share the same sign as these numbers to throw people off. It's not a hard thing to do but I saw a similar flash years ago that didn't do this. _________________

Uh.. I do hope that was a joke.. cause 14 from 77 is 63, not 54. _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

it's a joke, obviously. anyways, i figured out why i thought it didn't work on my first couple of trials. i was looking at 64 instead of 63, and saw that 56 had the same image as 63... silly me :oops: _________________

Yeah, i just learned how it worked a while ago. Actually, little bro figured it out and told me. And it turned out that he was correct. It's just as you figured out. I can't believe i didn't get that, and i'm doing engineering. I really should have been able to figure it out, but i guess i was distracted from the finals. _________________ Guardian of Greenhill & Devoted Protector of Oulan
