Sh*te
That's just screwed my head up for the last 20 minutes.
I've figured out how it works, so...
if you don't want to know or haven't tried it yet or want to figure it out for yourself...
PLEASE DON'T SCROLL DOWN!!!
Right, it was doolz's idea that got me thinking, you were well on the right lines fella, cos I couldn't get my head round it at all...
Here's how it works: like doolz said, if you think of '99' then:
99 - 9 - 9 = 81
98 - 9 - 8 = 81
97 - 9 - 7 = 81
and so on down to 90:
90 - 9 - 0 = 81
It's the same for other numbers, so:
89 - 8 - 9 = 72
88 - 8 - 8 = 72
etc etc...
The complete 'table' looks like this:
10 to 19 answer =
9
20 to 29 answer =
18
30 to 39 answer =
27
40 to 49 answer =
36
50 to 59 answer =
45
60 to 69 answer =
54
70 to 79 answer =
63
80 to 89 answer =
72
90 to 99 answer =
81
okay, see those numbers in
red?
Go to the webpage, and scroll through the list of symbols - the symbol next to each of these numbers (9, 18, 27 etc) is exactly the same, so whatever number you think of, the symbol will always be the one shown next to 81.
Geddit?
It took me frikkin ages to figure that out.
I need a beer now.
