Here goes my possibility of ever getting an honorary degree from MIT!

The multiple of 9 is correct. Harlan Mott (Hmott3) Junior Member Username: Hmott3 Post Number: 177 Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Thursday, August 22, 2002 - 8:08 am:    No that is correct. The answer will ALWAYS be a multiple of 9. You must select a 2 digit number so the possiblities are 10 to 99. 10-1=9 11-2=9 12-3=9 etc... 99-18=81 They just make sure 9,18,27,36,...,81 are the same picture and they will always be correct. This is just some odd math anomoly like any mutlipe of nine always equals 9 (1+8=9,2+7=9,3+6=9,..,8+1=9). Warren L.

There can only be certain #s possible, and in each of the scrolls, only one is possible each time. So if you made the scroll side big enough then it won't work. Each scroll only has one possible #. Its 3am, I don't know if im explaining clearly, but its basically using basic math and clever html.

Make sure you read the instructions carefully, otherwise it won't work.
