Ah-Ha! Figured it out! Got the ole slide rule out and dusted it off...and wal-la!

It can never be wrong if your math is correct!

Back to skool!

Still a cool trick.

Easy.

No matter what number you choose, the answer will always be a multiple of 9. And all the multiples of 9 in the chart correspond to the same symbol.

Of course, every time you hit Play Again, the chart changes so you don't realise it's always the same symbol.

Child play.

17 = 1+7=8-7=1
Used that 4 times and each time the symbol for '1' did NOT show.
Ergo, 100% failure rate...

17:
1+7=8
17-8=9

Multiple of 9. Get your math straight Jafo.
