    I'll let people try figure it out for a while, then I'll tell you how it's done....unless you already know.

    oldest trick in the book (well one of the oldest)

    The symbols/numbers change each time you load it up so that the calculation you are required to do always results in the same symbol...

    This is a variant of an old card trick

    Cause it has to be a 2 digit number to work, loel. It's quite straight forward how it's done.

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

    answer will always be divisible by 9

    Knew it was to good to be true :)

    Also what about this one.

    Pick a 4 digit number, however the last number must be smaller than the first (eg: 7331), now reverse that (so you'd get 1337), now subtract the smaller number from the larger number (if you've been following example you'd get 5994), now add each of the numbers in your answer (5+9+9+4) and now whatever total you get for this (in this case 27), add those two numbers (7+2) and you'll get 9!

    Try it with more numbers.... you'll always get the same :)
