What kind of mind reader is it? I shows random simbols and none of them was the one I was looking at

I tried it several times. If you just look at any symbol without doing the calculations, it isn't working. But when you really do the calculations in your mind, it amazingly shows you the right symbol! How does it know the right answer

just a hint: What result do you get when you calculate it for 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 , 16, 17, 18 and 19?

Just a case of logical thinking. It only doesn't work below 10

Oke, I had one time the answer was NOT correct.

Yes, and the explanation as a mathematical formula:

If
the first digit = a (1≤a≤9) and
the second digit = b (0≤b≤9),
then the 2-digit number =10a+b.

The calculation thus becomes
10a+b-(a+b) = 10a+b-a-b = 9a = {9,18,27,...,81}.

What makes it looking so realistic at first glance is that the mapping between numbers and symbols changes everytime you click.

But it's a funny trick and I admit it shocked me in the first moments.

That should have been a miscalculation from you, because this test is waterproof.
