This is quite interestng...

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

I know that there usually is a sequence to the way these things work, but this i found quite cool. I done it a fair few times to check it out and it got it every single time...

I haven't looked at it properly, but I've seen a similar one where what ever number you pick is always divisable by 9, and all those numbers have the same symbol associated with them.

Every time you run the game, the symbols change, so you don't pick up on it.

Something like that anyway.
That's my car up there, see?

Yep, well done wedge. Took the brain an embarrassingly long time but every number you get is a multiple of 9 and all associated symbols are the same.

Still be pretty effective on an inebriated mate... :-D

Just tried picking 5 numbers (instead of one)

Like, 21, 56, 77, 34, 45

If you make the whole process (to sum the numbers, subtract the number you get bla bla bla yada yada yada) the resulting numbers have ALL the same symbol attached...

So, whichever number you choose, it will always have the "symbol" that they want. The "board" which contains the symbols is always changing, a 54 number may have a symbol, but in the next turn the symbol will be different.

Jeez! :D

Cheers

Yep 9 is the secret, the board resets each time so that every number with a facor of 9 has the same symbol but I am not sure I would have got it without the hint.
