OMG he read my mind!!!
Try with number 11 guys......
Everytime it changes the symbol of multiple of 9. Whenever we plus the two digits numbers and minus with the original numbers the answer which comes is always multiple of 9. He knows what is the multiple of 9 and shows the symbol to you........Simple and easy!!!! Watch carefully and you'll understand it
It's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's always doing it wrong!!!!!!!!!!
I got it. All your answers can be divided by 9. He uses one symbol for all of these numbers and shows it to you.
But how? When clicked at 86 he said the simbol of 68^ that i chose! Again and again!
Wow this is amazing...How does it work? It is crazy!!
amazing
WOW
This is a kind of Magic of Science ^_^
but I still confused, how could it work???
ahuh!!
Hi avhie18! Have you worked out what the trick is? :)

i think so??..
oww..How??//
It might be a trick with the camera of the laptop ;)
Hi Yassine! Good guess but let me assure you that Magic Gopher doesn't use the camera. Can you think of another explanation ... ? I hope you enjoy solving this puzzle.

The trick to the game is that the gopher uses the same symbol for every multiple of 9, from 0 through 81 (it is impossible to get a higher number using only two digits). The gopher assigns the same symbol to the multiples of 9 as to other non-multiples of 9 in order to cover up the trick; the symbol picked for each game is randomized. No matter which two-digit integer the player chooses, when the subtraction is done, the resulting number will always be a multiple of 9. In fact, no matter which (nonnegative) integer the player chooses, the result will always be a multiple of 9. The former can be proven using elementary algebra. Be aware that the proofs for n digits rely on that the digits of the number n\, are indexed with the rightmost digit being assigned position 0, with the adjacent digits (to the left) having an index increasing by one each time. For example, for the number '261', the digit '1' is in position 0, '6' is in position 1, and '2' is in position 2.
I played this game a lot of times, he never gets wrong, I can't believe how he can know.>o<
It's weird, but fine..:))
hE did not make
there is no magic ,always we get total of our numbers is 9, so it will always get the symbol of 9 number. if you want to check one more time you will check the symbol of 9 .it is very funny magic
amazing!!!!
If you keep 36 it can't find your number.Try it thanks.
no that's not magic he doesn't read mind it's just a very good trick that's all if you take any nember composed of 2 nembers like he said you always get 9 or 18 or 27 or 36 or 45 or 54 or 63 or 72 or 81 ...... and all those nembers have the same symbol next to it that's why gopher always get it right
wow...it's uncanny
Aliens invasion!!
this dude is really amazing at how he can figure out your symbol when you do not click your numbers symbol.
Woow! i was really surprised when he showed me the right answer but that's 'coz there are more of same symbols:) ^^
so cool~
But I know the trick ^^
some years ago there was a popular program in The Internet. It's name was "Magic square" (but in Russian). The system was the same. After some "games" I understood that the actions with digit are not "random". There is a special computing. And the answer will be always the same. There are 8-10 numbers which are always have the same symbol. And one of them will be your "answer" anyway. The man on the fist page has already explained the system.
