11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

take away the 1 and the other number, you get 9 each time. Why those cheating bastards, I oughta....

Explanation is good, plus your scroll position... :D

aha! i fooled it! i don't know how, but my third time they got it wrong. i didn't scroll down this time 'cause i remembered the symbol. maybe that's it?

ok, wait. never mind. they change the symbols each time, so i didn't do it after all, damn it. how the hell?

each time you do it you get a multiple of 9, all the symbols that are multiples of 9 are the same.

ta-da!

Helps if you can successfully deduct the right numbers though - else it goes wrong !
