I've done this before, but I won't share the secret. It's fun though.

Opaco: I'm sure there's a simple explanation, but I'm not really a numbers person, so I'm okay with being mystified.

TT: I know the wavy words are annoying, but it has helped with the spam. I've thought about the Haloscan but just haven't done anything about it yet. It's on my list.

Peachy: No fair!

More specifically, Opaco, anytime you pick a number and do the subtraction, the resulting # is always divisible by 9. So the symbol is the same for every # that's divisible by 9. The trick lies in the fact that everytime you refresh the screen to try it again, all the symbols switch, but the "9s" all have the same symbol, whatever it's changed to. Sure there's other #s with the same symbol, but it doesn't matter, since the resulting # is always divisible by 9.

I'm not a mathematician. Just a musician. Thank you.
