16 - 7 = 9
17 - 8 = 9
18 - 9 = 9
19 - 10 = 9

20 - 2 = 18
21 - 3 = 18
...etc

30 - 3 = 27
31 - 4 = 27
...etc, etc


Note how all those numbers are multiples of 9, then you may also note that the symbols that are the multiples of 9 repeat over every 9th symbol, the rest of the symbols are shuffled around.

Simple really.
Or if you take any two digit number 'xy', this is equivalent to 10x + y

Adding the two digits together, then subtracting gives:

10x + y - (x + y) = 9x

Therefore, they all answers must be divisible by 9.

Well here is the proof ladies and gentlemen.
Nice one, I was going to write something along similar lines, but couldn't quite figure out how I'd word it.
Well done.

Indeed. Besides, teaching is the best way to refine your own knowledge of something.

This is kinda creepy..I tried it five times!

You have got to try this, it will make the hair on your arms rise!
This is spooky!!!!
At first I thought it was because I moved the mouse, but, I did it again
without moving the mouse, then again without even touching the mouse and
it worked.
Give it a try...it IS a trip! Link:

Wow, i tried it 5 times and it got it right every time!! I even chose the same number 3 times in a row but it still got it right. Spooky stuff 😕
