A pair serie

This is a serie of ordered pairs:
(0,6), (1,2), (2,5), (3,5), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6), (7,3), (8,7), and (9,6) and this is the whole serie.

This means that every one-figure number has a corresponding number attached. Like you say 3 and I say 5. 10 is not defined in this serie so you get no answer for that.

Here is the question: What is the principle behind the pairs?

(This is perhaps an impossible question if you are not a Mega Mensa of some kind, but start asking questions about it and I answer in regular intervalls. If no questions comes, then I start giving hints after a while.)

Dont want to spoil 😛, ill mail Fabian

Is that so?

I used this site
http://world.altavista.com/

to translate the word 'mensa' from spanish to English... try it and see.

In my Spanish dictionary, it says:
"Menso (mex) - fool"

Then 'mensa' is its feminin form.

Spanish? Well, local mexican rather.
Can any mexican reader verify this?

Hint: I got the idea of this problem while watching a movie on my VHS tape recorder.
