How does this work?

Now that is bizarre!

[Balky001]

Freaky, it got it right 5 times out of 5. Although as it changes the symbol of each number each time I think it covers every possible answer with the same symbol - it doesn't leave it on screen long enough to check though.

:? wtf 8)

I've seen a differnet version of this before and figured out how it works. I'm not explaining, but it's quite clever.

Oh come on, it's just a mathematical puzzle. Look at the list of numbers. All the number divisible by 9 have the same symbol.

that's what I was try to say but without knowing the maths bit :lol:

Clever, takes a while, but not hard to work out what it does really.

If anyone is curious enough to want to know, do it once, then do it again, and look at the symbol for both answers, do it again & look at the symbol for all 3.

Got it? Good.

(9 times table anyone?)

This has been around a while with loads of different websites doing it

[BabyJ]

Very cleverly done! It's always mutiples of nine and all the other symbols to the power of 9 are all the same too. All the other symbols were put there to put you off (well that's what I think anyway) If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will tell me!

:D

Erm its just based on the multiple of nines.

Think about it... you will always get the same answer...

eg 34 = 3+4 = 7 34 - 7 = 27 = 3 x 9

35 = 3+5 = 8 35 - 8 = 27

36 = 3+6 = 9 36 - 9 = 27

etc

[Marshall]

clever, would freak my less urm clever mates

[Stu]

But the symbol it comes up with is not always the same, but it is always correct
How?

[Stu]

Sorry!
Dumb Ass gets it now. Doh!

[embee]

.......and if you add the digits of a number repeatedly and end up with nine, then the original number was divisible by nine.

e.g. 85905=9545x9 , 8+5+9+0+5=27, 2+7=9

437589=48621x9, 4+3+7+5+8+9=36, 3+6=9

not related to the link but just a "nine factlet" :wink:

When you get your symbol come up, if you look at all the other mutiples of 9 i.e 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81 etc you'll see the symbols for those numbers are exactly the same.

Tis the same with the number 3 too. :D

eg 103 does not divide by 3, but 105 does as it adds up to 6 which is divisible by three.
