There are only a certain amount of answers you can get and if you notice the same symbols are on more than one number...

Poor child.

Your answer MUST be a multiple of 9. All the symbols of multiples of 9 are the same, though they change the symbol they use each time you play the game.

You ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

A mate sent me this a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to know how it worked .... because I'm sad

So
Think of a two digit number ..... The digits are x and y, so the number is 10x + y
Add the digits = x + Y
Subtract this from the number = 10x + y - (x + y) = 9x

When I tried it the second time I did notice that the character for my answer was repeated, but didn't notice where.

Now it's obvious.
The answer character appears at multiples of 9 : 9, 18, 27, 36 , 45, etc

Now you can really impress the wife, supertouring
Or maybe not !!
