He'll guess your symbol right every time. I'm sure there's some kinda trick to it. If anyone figures it out, let me know lol

Thats neat. I like that better than the 20 questions type of webapp.

Hah! I made him guess wrong! I assume its because I was thinking of the same number as the first time, but he was wrong.

Let me know if you have the same result. when he asks you if you want to try again, click his little buddy and use the exact same number as you did before.

The symbols assigned to numbers change with each play. That has something to do with it. The rest is probably statistical analysis on a level above my understanding.
Also note that many numbers share the same symbol

He got 1 right out of two trys. First waz wrong than right the next time around

Here’s how it works:

Number – sum of digits = special number

10 – 1 = 9
11 – 2 = 9
12 – 3 = 9
13 – 4 = 9
14 – 5 = 9
15 – 6 = 9
16 – 7 = 9
17 – 8 = 8
18 – 9 = 9
19 – 9 = 9

20 – 2 = 18
21 – 3 = 18
22 – 4 = 18
and so on until
29 – 11 = 18

30 – 3 = 27
31 – 4 = 27
32 – 5 – 27
and so on until
39 – 12 = 27

40 – 4 = 36
41 – 5 = 36
and so on until
49 – 13 = 36

For any number between
50 and 59, the number – sum of digits = 45
60 and 69, the number – sum of digits = 54
70 and 79, the number – sum of digits = 63

I could keep going. But anyway, all those “special numbers” 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, etc. have the same symbol each time.


If he got yours "wrong" then you may not have paid careful attention to the symbol or your arithmetic.
