No matter what 2-digit number you choose, the result will be a number that is divisible by 9.
90 -> 99 = 81
80 -> 89 = 72
70 -> 79 = 63
...
20 -> 29 = 18
10 -> 19 = 9
00 -> 09 = 0
The symbols next to 81, 72, 63, 54, 45, 36, 27, 18, 9, and 0 are all the same. When you run the test a second time, they change which symbol is displayed next to those numbers. But the symbol is always the same for the lot of them.
Yeah, I'm a real joy at parties.

Aughrgh! Math! My high school algebra teacher is chasing me with a meat cleaver! And she's singing the theme song to The Greatest American Hero. Makeitstopmakeitstop!
Oh, it was all a dream.
Aaaauugghhh no this thread is real!
My next door neighbor as a teen got sent to a mental hospital for "figuring out the meaning of life" mathematically. Math can be evil.

Without math, record and CD players would play at any random speed. Therefore, you'd never hear these words:
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
