^ You added wrong. It's made so that any number being added together and subtracted, etc. will land on the same symbol. It doesn't matter which one you pick, it will land on the same one. Try it!

Somewhere on this board buried way back is the mathematical proof of this. Basically this answer you get is always divisible by 9 and so in the chart all the muliples of 9 have the same symbol, though the actual symbol changes each time.

OK, but do you know what really made my hair stand up??
I did it with a number that I chose, and my wife did it at the same time, click per click, with a different number that she had in her head.
As it turned out, we both ended up with the same symbol, and it was "guessed" correctly.
Go figure...................................
