this is what jo originally posted
52 => 5 + 2 = 7 => 52 - 7 = 45 (Now in stead of looking at the symbol besides 45 you add them aswell => 4+5 = 9)
17 => 1 + 7 = 8 => 17 - 8 => 9
29 => 2 + 9 = 11 => 29 - 11 = 18 (=> 1+8 = 9)
Sow the end result is always 9.
If you don''t pick a number and just look at the symbol besides 9 you''ll see that the symbol that occurs is the same...

There is only a limited number of results you can have from the equation. These numbers always have the same symbol which changes each time you re-run it!
