# Well if you think about it,
your number can be expressed in the form 10x+y, e.g. 34 = (3x10)+4.

Then you subtract the first digit (i.e. x), and the second digit (y), so you perform:

10x + y - x - y = 9x.

Therefore the number you end up with will be a factor of 9. All the factors of 9 have the same symbol.

QED.

# okay, well
algebraic equations aside, how come you can keep getting different symbols?

# every time it reloads
it puts a different symbol there. To prove it to yourself, clicking on the bowl will always give the symbol at 9.

# got it now
cheers

# Because
All multiples of nine have the same symbol which changes everytime you have a go. For example if 9 has a smiley face, so would 18, 27, 36 etc. The next round they would all change to a triangle or whatever. Basically all multiples of nine keep the same symbol. When one changes, they all do

# hmm
if 10x+y, e.g. 64 = (3*x-7)+4 + 83.

Obviously,

10x + y - x - y = 9x + ab^64 = [$334]p

Therefore

x=x and y = y + a badger.

# yes,
i was going to say that.
