every number you could get has the same symbol im guessing

all possible answers share the same symbol. the symbol changes each time, but all answers still share the same symbol

Easy:

You choose a number
N

which can be written down as

10x + y = N

Now, they want you to subtract the sum of the two digits of the number, so...
10x + y - (x + y) = 9x

So the number you get will always be a multple of 9, and if you check multiples of 9 always have the same symbol.


BTW, this is ancient

Seen these before.

No matter what numbers you pick, your answer is a multiple of 9.

quote:

Pick a random 2 digit number. = 10x + y (eg 10*2 = 20. Then add 3. 23) Add the digits. = x + y (2+3 = 5) Subtract from the random number. = 10x + y - (x + y) = 10x + y - x - y = 10x - x = 9x ie: 23 - 5 = 18. 2*9 = 18 If you look, every symbol for a multiple of 9 ( 9,18,27,36 etc) is the same. Its the only answer you can get, so it appears magic.
