Dear Ram,
ReplyDeleteThe trick I believe is, when you add the two digits of a two digit number and subtract the sum from the original two digit number, the end product will be a multiple of nine.
e.g.
23: 2 + 3 = 5, 23 - 5 =18
77: 7 + 7 = 14, 77 - 14 = 63
If you take a closer look, the numbers 0,9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81,90 will have the same symbols. To add to the trick, number 99 may have a different symbol, because 99 is not reachable.
Further, the symbol changes every other time you try.
Hope this helps.

Exactly Harish, all multiples of 9 have the same symbol. Any two digit number less its sum of digits give a multiple of 9. And every time the symbol changes for the multiples of 9 to fool the user.
ReplyDeleteRam, i find it b4 reding the comments!!! Harish and Vijai, there you go! The multiples of 9 is the same symbol that will be the answer which changes randomly everytime the page is refreshed!!!!

ReplyDeleteYes.. you are absolutely correct..
After I started it for some more time, it dawned on me.
The change of symbols an interesting ploy to divert your attention..
Visu, I was stumped by it as well a few weeks back. People at home were thrilled..!!
