Martin, this is f---ing with my mind. How does it do it? It even works if two of us think of numbers and don't tell each other what we've thought of!!!!

Think of a 2-digit number;

10x + y

where x lies between 1 and 9 inclusive, y lies between 0 and 9 inclusive.

Add the digits together; x+y

Subtract this from the original 2-digit number;
The remaining amount = 10x+y - (x+y) = 9x

So the only ones which it's possible to get is 9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72 or 81.

You'll notice that all of these values have the same symbol in the list on the right..........

Right, thank you. What I hadn't noticed was that it reassigns the symbols each time.

Just wondering - can anyone in the club do any Derren Brown style tricks? Now that would make a good Magpie and Stump...
