How does this work?

Who can tell me how this works?

I think Talentless posted a similar thing a while ago... notice how the "symbols" change order everytime, then notice the repeating math pattern. I think you can figure it out.

I did not notice any of those things. But I don't have time to mess with it now. I'll look at it again tomorrow.

What is a "repesting" math pattern?

Bah, d*** QWERTY pattern...

The symbols do change everytime, but how the heck does it know what numbers I'm chosing?

I chose 3 different two-digit numbers each time; and yet even though there are only 10 different sysmbols, the chances of it guessing right three times in a row is:

1 / (10 x 10 x 10) = 1/1000

Yikes. I'm still trying to figure it out/stump it.

Oh, I'm stupid...figured it out now!

A ha! I knew it had something to do with nine. That was as far as I could be bothered to figure it out.

Still... it's pretty cool the first time.
