    okay that's weirding me out.

    If I do what it says, it guesses the number perfectly.

    If I just choose a number at random, without adding the numbers, it doesn't work.

    And since I don't do anything but click on the ball, how does it know what I'm thinking?

    Its the way the table is set out. Approximately every 9th symbol is the same, must be something to do with that. Pretty good effort working it all out though.

    Question

    It's all part of randomisation, and the "Law of Large Numbers", although that's also the same law that says you're mad to buy a Lotto ticket....so I'm confused!

    its just maths, it doesn't matter which two digit number you sttart with you can only come up with a few different answers. notice all those answers have the same symbol always, the rest are randomised.. lol took me 2 minutes to figure out.
    11, 11-(1+1)=9
    12, 12-(1+2)=9
    13, 13-(1+3)=9
    theres only 11 numbers or so in the table that need to match every time every time so it appears random at firs glance.

    yea its really simple relyin on you to choose large numbers but when u pick 10 1+0 = 1 it wont work so u need 99 or 55 to make it work.
    Those who dont learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.

    Man - I got this amazing little thing from the Warewhare called 20Q (there's ads on tv and you can do it online) and it's absolutely .... amazing! (Can't think of another word). You think of anything and it asks animal/vege/mineral and you answer, and then the rest of the questions you either push yes, no, sometimes or don't know. It guesses after 20 Q's but if it's wrong it'll try again after 5 more. It got nearly everthing - even thought, golf-tee, kiwi, chinchilla, fart, and millions more! I was very, very impressed.
    $20 from the warehouse and it must be CIA technology!
    If anyone knows the website, post it here.

    To carry on from Artifice's explanation, it is not magic, but rather maths.

    For everybody who finds it doesn't work for them, I hate to tell ya, but you might want to brush up on you mental arithmetic - if performed correctly it will give the correct result each time.

    You have 90 possible numbers to choose from (10-99 inclusive). The function will return a multiple of 9 (9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81) based upon the highest order number:

    i.e.
    F(10) = 1x9 = 9
    F(14) = 1x9 = 9
    F(34) = 3x9 = 27
    F(36) = 3x9 = 27

    As k14 pointed out, every 9th symbol is the same. Each time the page is reloaded, the symbols will change, but each multiple of 9 will have the same symbol.

    Thus it will return the symbol associated with the 9 times table for that instance.

    Velox - 20Q

    I was just going to post about that! They have them at Dick Smith too. As you say, amazing. Now that you've reminded me, I may just go and get one...

    PS: They don't work with number tricks, it just guesses the word you are thinking of -> Cue Twilight Zone music
