Here's two clues:
(1) does the table of symbols stay the same for every attempt?
(2) is there more than one way of getting the same symbol?
Explanation:
A two digit number - call it AB in general terms
In base 10, this actually means that the /value/ of the number is (10 x
A) plus B
So the number is is actually 10A + B
Adding the digits together gives you (A + B)
and subtracing them from the general expression is
(10A + B) - (A + B) = 10A + B - A - B = 9A
So the answer is always going to be 9 times the first digit of your
chosen two digit number. So you load the table with the same symbol for
all factors of nine and wait for jaws to drop.
