It is all to do with 9. There are only nine different possible numbers that you can end up with following the instructions, namely 0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, and 81. If you don't believe it, try it. Any two digit number between 00 and 09 gives 0, between 10 and 19 gives 9, 20 and 29 gives 18, etc.

 

If you are quick, you will see that all these numbers have the same symbol when the symbol screen appears, so if you have done your maths right, it will always show you the right symbol.

 

There are two clever tricks to the way it works though. The first is that the symbols are different each time which makes it harder to spot that the set of nine possible answers all have the same symbol (try using the same two-digit number twice in a row, the symbol will be different), and secondly only giving you 10 seconds to look at the symbol makes it very hard to spot that the critical nine are all the same.

 

Very clever.

so the screen is re jigged every time you do it again.
