Big John Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Posted before in a different format. But it is one of the rules of 9. The difference will always be divisible by 9 and all numbers divisible by 9 have the same symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 It works now. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckB Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) If you add any two digit number in the teens and subtract it from the original it will be 9.....and that's the symbol it will choose. That same symbol will be on the corresponding number for every other group of two digit #'s. For example all 20 somtheings will end up being 18, all thirty somethings will end up being 27 and so forth and all of those final numbers will share the same symbol. Or what BJ said Edited June 8, 2006 by ChuckB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billay Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I did the math twice and it worked both times, then i just picked a symbol and the computer couldn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeeman Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Every 9th image is the same, therefore adding any two digits together and subtracting 10 will end up with a similar number divisible by 9. Don't know the details as to why, but I do know this is why you can tell if you've accidentally transposed two numbers while doing addition on a large chain of numbers - like accountants had to do back in the day. So if the difference between the 2 columns of numbers is divisible by 9, you had flipped a number around when keying it in. Something like that...

alexgaddis Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 but it chose a different symbol and was right both times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckB Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 but it chose a different symbol and was right both times Doesn't matter what symbol it is, if you notice 9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81 will all have the same symbol because no matter what # you choose you will end up with one of those final #'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
