it won't open on my browser but is that the one with the symbols and numbers

Madge · 20-07-2006 9:44pm

yeah it is! it has astrological and other symbols

Creamy Goodness · 20-07-2006 9:51pm

it's fairly simple i think.

what most people will do to find their symbol is to place their mouse over it, then it just gives back that symbol. also when you find your symbol look how often it occurs - ie. way more than any other symbol

jcoote · 20-07-2006 9:53pm

no i think this is it is it

the same symbol occurs every 9 spaces eg 0 and 9 have the same symbol

thats cos if follow the instuctions there are only 9 possible answers

I didn't hold my mouse over it and it still got it right! Also there seem to be too many symbols for a particular 1 to come up. I picked different numbers and got 5 different symbols in a row

every time you do the calculation the answer you come up with will be a multiple of 9 e.g 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 etc. Each of those answers has the same symbol. Every time you do the puzzle they change the symbol for those multiples of 9.
Very simple but very effective
