Its a mathematical trick, they revolve symbols around each time you click "one more time" to make the illusion that its guessing it each time right. When in reality every possible answer shares the same symbol.

Meh. The only possible outcomes have in common that their digits add up to 9. Check them out, they all got the same symbol.

because it is a stone-cold math, and the computer calculations are always 100% correct (in this case).
