this is really cool, I dont know how it works.

Anyone know how it works?
Ha, it has something to do with the number nine.
Didn’t work, my symbol was “R” and it came up with “U”
I beat the system!
Simple, Kavaa: it will always be multiple of nine.
You’re asked to choose some number N of two digits, lets say the first digit is X and the second, Y.
Then you’re asked to sum its digits:
X+Y = Z color=#cc3333[/color]
Next, you’re asked to subtract that from your original number:
N−Z
Now, think with me: since the first digit of your number is X and the second, Y, then the whole number can be expressed as:
10∙X+Y= N color=#cc3333[/color]
So back to our subtraction N−Z, we now know what N and Z are (see equations color=#cc3333[/color] and color=#cc3333[/color]):
N−Z = (10∙X+Y)−(X+Y)
N−Z = 10∙X+Y−(X+Y)
N−Z = 10∙X+Y−X−Y
N−Z = 10∙Xcolor=#9999cc[/color]−Xcolor=#9999cc[/color]
N−Z = 10∙X−X
N−Z = 10∙X−1∙X
N−Z = (10−1)∙X
N−Z = 9∙X
So whatever number you pick, your result will be 9 times its first digit. In other words, for any number from 0 to 9, you’ll get 0; for any number from 10 to 19, you’ll get 9; for any number from 20 to 29, you’ll get 18 etc.
Haha, thats brilliant.
I was freaked out for a second there.
Wow… It kind of sucks now that I know how it works. It seems like 9 is a magical number. There are all sorts of things you can do with the number.
I’ve see these before, I figured out the secret (as Bruno said) a while ago. Actually I figured out without math.
I just looked for a pattern in the symbols. With this one, there is a diagonal line bottm left to top right
Only because it’s 10-1. In other number systems, 10-1 acts the same way: in binary, you can use 10-1 = 1 (decimal: 2-1 = 1) that way, and in hexadecimal, you can use 10-1 = F (decimal: 16-1 = 15) that way.
In other words, 9 is simply the highest one-digit number.
