Try 3 or 4 sets of numbers, coming up with 3 or 4 different answers. Notice that they all have the same gift on the grid. It's simple math.  |  IP: Logged Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 07-30-2009 03:32 PM                        Break the two digit number down into its digits, y and x for tens and ones place respectively. The number combined is 10y+x. That means the result is 10y+x - y - x = 9y, which means the answer will always be a multiple of 9 from 9 to 81 (y ranges from 1-9).  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

Besides, even if the answer is a multiple of 9 from 9-81, there is still only a 1 in 9 chance that shell be correct. I did this 4 times, she was right each time! Maths? No. BURN THE WITCH!  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-30-2009 05:20 PM                     Ah OK. They are moving the multiples of 9 each time to seem more real. In other words, the first time you play, potpourri might occupy all of the multiples of 9. The second time, Coffee Mug occupies all the multiples of 9. This way they create the illusion of randomness. Nevertheless, maths is still only a theory. And Robin is still a witch.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!
