Ok, I'm officially freaked out by this. Someone explain it pleaase.
That IS freaky! Of course there are a bunch of numbers but only a few symbols, but still, the chances they would get the correct one all of the time is slim.
I too want to know how they do this.
Warning: Correct explanation is listed below. Only took two games to figure it out, and two more to test it.
Warning: Play the game a few times first, THEN read the explanation.
Explanation below in small print. Stop now or spoil your fun...
It is quite simple. Your final answer will always be a multiple of 9. All of the 9's have the same symbol. Play again? The 9 symbol is changed, but all the 9's have the same symbol. The largest possible result is 81, so the symbol next to 90 is irrelevant, as are all the non-multiples of 9. (They also change those with every game.)
