Developer's Note:

hello everyone, first of all I am sorry for my bad English because I'm french (I use google translation)
so I decide to participate (late) has genesis,
I am beginner in programing and I decided to post this "small" homebrew
I say small because the concept is very simple but does have effect !

The principle is very simple but be careful to fully understand the instructions.


Instructions:

Code:
Choose an integer number Between 1 and 99
Let's take for example 67.
Subtract from this number each of the two digits that make it.
In our example, The result is: 67 - 6 - 7 = 54
Look at the table : each symbol corresponds to a number.
Find the symbol Corresponding to yours.
Finally, press cross!

The result is always dividable by 9. So all the factors of 9 have the symbol you'll be staring at if you followed the instructions properly.
Spoiler for Suspension of Disbelief-killing comment:
It's an old trick, I recall something wee could do with a calculator, and it involved some fairly freaky calculation.
However, the answer could also be obtained by just adding each digit to each other, as opposed to multiplying by 300 and stuff like that. At least, that's how I think it went.
Haven't seen this trick or the homebrew, but thinking about it, wouldn't you lose precision with this?

I mean, 67 = 6×10 + 7, or generically, let a=6, b=7
Then you do the subtraction to get 10a + b - a - b = 9a
In other words, you lose the last digit (b), so 60-69 will always give the same result (54)...
