How long will it take you to figure this out?

Tell us how long it took you but don't tell the secret or you'll ruin it for everyone else. It took me about 8 clicks but I was pissed it took me that long when I figured it out.

Here it is

I have to admit, it did baffle me for a little while and once I figured it out I did feel stupid.

Re: How long will it take you to figure this out?

** SPOILER WARNING ***

Don't read this if you want to figure this out yourself.

Here's how it works:

Let's say you take any two digit integer (Ax10) + (Bx1) which we represent in base 10 as AB. When you follow the directions and add the two digits and subtract it from the original number you have:

10A + B
-A - B
__________

9A

Thus whatever number you started with will map to a multiple of 9. The program randomly rotates the symbols in these multiple of 9 spots and always brings up that symbol in the "crystal ball". All the other symbols are randomly assigned each time. For example, you can merely look at the symbol after 9 and it will always be what the crystal ball brings up.

Actually there is a "bug" in the program.

If one chooses a number between 0 and 8 inclusive, it will map to 0. The symbol for 0 does not match the other multiples of 9.
