Secret To Magic Gopher

My sweet mother looked up the secret to the Magic Gopher game....

When you follow the instructions, your number goes through the following formula: xy - (x+y), where x is the first digit, and y is the second. (For example, for 53: x = 5 and y = 3... -> 53 - (5+3) = 45.

This formula always produces multiples of 9 (0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81). If you look at the symbol chart, the symbol for multiples of 9 are always the same, but the chart itself changes every time you play again. Next time you see the symbol chart, look at the symbol for 9. Any number that you originally picked will result in that symbol.

In other words, say my number is 66. ~ 6+6=12 ~ 66-12=54 ~ 54 is a multiple of 9. ~ 72 ~ 7+2=9 ~ 72-9=63 ~ 63 is a multiple of nine. So everytime, it ends up being a multiple of nine. And all the nine symbols are the same. Does that make sense? It's still weird though!

Have a great day! :)
