I don't want to burst your bubble so early Bob but it all has to do with the number 9. Check all the multiples of 9 (18,27...81) and you'll notice they're all the same symbol. Each time the game is replayed, the symbol changes (making you think it's really magic) but it's still the same symbol for each multiple of 9. THe mathematics will always work out to one of these numbers.

Hate to spoil the fun, but it is a simple process of mathematics. The short answer is that every single number that you can come up with will be a multiple of 9 and if you look at the symbols, every multiple of 9 (54,27,81,etc) will have the same symbol that comes up. If you want the algebraic (sp) explanation, let me know :wink:

Mathematics goes beyond magic! It goes beyond all of us.
