OT: Bit Spooky?

Give it a go...

(Stolen from another site, I'm guessing the average IQ is a tad higher here so maybe it'll be obvious)

It really is very simple maths, NFS!

Let's use a bit of algebra!

You pick 2 digits, so let's say the number is written as 'ab'.

'a' must be at least 1 & b could be 0-9, so

'ab' actually equals (10 x a) + b

Take away (a+b):

(10 x a) + b - (a + b) = 9 x a


So, you' re only ever left with the 9-times table- all the symbols are the same for those numbers, upto 9 x 9 ie 81.

They do change each go, but they still stay the same for all multiples of 9!

ahh .. clever bit is that it rotates the symbols used for the multiples of 9 each time.

Bit slow tonight .. maybe its the pouilly fume

Awww Viv you let it out a bit too soon but I'm impressed with the decimal explaination and the maths although its been so long I am buggered if I could reduce (10 x a) + b - (a + b) ... far too may brackets! Anyway, tis good especially after a few glasses of wine.
