Please visit this link and someone tell me, how can this work? I just don't see this being possible.
Worth the look, guaranteed.

Ok, so it probably isn't too difficult.
If you are counting back 10 places, take a look at all the various numbers that ad up to 10...
64,55, 73, 91, 82, 19,28, 37,46
All will have the same symbol, so what's the rest of it, is it time? at first I thought it was detecting the mouse moving over the number, because I pointed with the mouse as I did the math the 'easy way'. So I stopped doing that. Still it gets it right.
I really think it's using elapsed time. Hate to spoil it though. No Dolphins were harmed in the posting of this message... Dolphin Friendly Tuna!

Sheesh.
They just generate a new table each "try" and it is rigged so no matter where you start in the table you end up with the symbol they already chose to show up in the "crystal ball."
Sorry, this thing is ancient. I 1st saw it in the 70s and a lot of kids' "mathemagic" type books cover variations.
Spooky though huh? ooo-EEEE-eeee-ooooooooo

2+3=5; 23-5 = 18
2+4=6; 24-5 = 18
2+5=7; 25-5 = 18
2+6=8; 26-5 = 18
etc
Same holds true for
3+3=6; 33-6 = 27
3+4=7; 34-7 = 27
3+5=8; 35-8 = 27
3+6=9; 36-9 = 27
etc
So there is a finite number of possible out comes. Now each of these outcomes has the same picture which change with every click. So for example if your number was 11 the answer would be 9 if you look at 9 the picture changes everytime and that picture is the one that shows. Though I'll admit it had me going for a sec. Good find.

Oh wait! I figured it out... if you want the secret, I will share it with you, but try to figure it out on your own first. It's so simple people will miss it.
Darn I wish I had thought of this!

This is simple. Whenever you subtract the sum of digits from a two-digit number, the answer is a number which is always a multiple of 9. i.e. 9, 18, 27, 36 and so on...
If you look up in the table, you will see that all these numbers are assigned the same symbol. And that symbol is displayed when you click the ball!
BTW, this post has no connection with Visual Basic!
