When you apply that formula to any number between 10 and 99 there is only 19 possible outcomes. Every one of those outcomes has the same symbol which also appears in the crystal ball. The chosen symbol changes each time you reload the page.

The numbers will always be 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, or 81. Just look at these. They\'ll all have the same symbol. That will be the one every time. Klout is right that the assigned symbol to these numbers changes every time in order to keep you fooled.

If you use zero as your second number and randomly pick different things off of the page as your first you will find it is often wrong, since x-0=x.

Example: Pick 38 and 0. Since the answer is 38 and 38 is not one of the numbers in the set, it will be wrong every time.

i kinda get it now because if you start with the first 2 digit number, which is 10, 9 will be your answer and its relative as you try different ones.
I dont know what paul is talking about when he said to choose 38 and 0 because it says to pick a 2 digit number, not 2 numbers.

From 10 to 99 gives you 90 possible choices. After you perform the math, you will always have one of these numbers: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, or 81.

the charts are always different, but those numbers always have the same symbol.
