No embush needed to kick your ass HEHE

Link seems to be ok to me (maybe French servers can't link to British .org sites?)

Wanted to see if the NASA scientist could work this one out cos I haven't a clue how it can predict it?

The formula they have you use always results in one of a small group of possible results. They just keep changing the symbol that they give to that group of numbers so that it always seems it is predicting whatever your original guess led to.

It's obviously got someway of predicting the result, I just can't work out how it's soo accurate?
I've tried a few times now and it always gets it right
How??

[abercrab]

Ok, after crunching a couple of numbers, here's a more complete answer to how it works.

The formula they have you use always gives an answer that is a multiple of 9. So the only possible numerical answers are 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, and 81. When they ask you to look for your anwer and remember the associated symbol, check out all of the symbols next to the above numbers, they will always have matching symbols so no matter what you do they have ensured that the symbol they pick matches your results.

OMG Thanks Abe ;D
Knew it had to be something simple, just my brain couldn't work it out

Nope, but I have an engineering degree so I've had plenty of math and science.
