ok, but how can it be that the first 4 tries I did were absolutly correct? I mean, there are several possibilities, right?

I know it is not reading my mind (otherwise the answer would come back empty

), but I'm trying to understand.

AARRGHHH!!!!

the symbols change every time. you pick a number: it has the same symbol as any multiple of nine, except 99. (or something like that) there's a math proof or something in the adding of the digits or whatever. 12 = 1+2 = 3

3 - 12 = 9

14 1+4 = 5

5 - 14 = 9

10 = 1+0 = 1

10 - 1 = 9

54 = 5+4 = 9

54 - 9 = 45 (variable of nine!)

and so on. see, every answer is either a nine or a multiple of nine. and every multiple of nine has the same symbol every time. [/b]

Yeah, Nuclei is a genius, he just explained it to me. I never realized that the symbols were changing every time.
