Number Magic?? (http://www.learnenglish.org.uk/games/magic-gopher-central.swf)

I am sure there is a logical explanation for this, but beats me if I can figure it out :rolleyes:

the symbols change each time you pick a number... and you only come up with certain numbers, I forget how we figured it out... in this one it seems to be that every number you can come up with is 11 numbers apart or something...

i got 9 and 18 the next

example...

you chose 34... 3+4 = 7, minue 7 from 34 and you get 27...

now pick the number 35... 3+5 = 8... take it away from 35... you get 27 again...

I forget exactly... but the symbols do change every time and you can only come up with a certain group of numbers, all represented by the same symbol

I'm going about this the wrong way with the example... I thinking of another one... but the part I just quoted is true... you can only come up with certain numbers, maybe 9 numbers apart, and the symbols do change...

I figured it was something like that..

[Gobbla2001]

that's it...

I remember... by doing this, you can only come up with multiples of 9...

do not pick a number and go to the symbols chart, find the number 9, then 18, then 27, then 36 and so on... those are all multiples of 9... they will all have the same symbol by them...
