figured it out & how to beat it. It follows your mouse. Most people will use their mouse to find the #. If you use your eyes & put your mouse on a diff #, it will guess wrong. Hooray

It's a math trick.

No matter what two digit number you pick, subtracting each of the digits will always equal a multiple of 9.

Ex.
84 >> 84 - 8 - 4 = 72
15 >> 15 - 1 - 5 = 9
91 >> 91 - 9 - 1 = 81

Etc.

In each screen of possible gifts, ALL GIFTS WITH NUMBERS DIVISIBLE BY 9 ARE THE SAME.
Their order makes it not very obvious, but check, and you'll see.

Each time, she changes which gift corresponds to the divisible-by-9 numbers, so that throws you off, but it's a pretty simple trick.

Your answer always has to be a multiple of 9. Each time the chart has a different gift in the 9's time table, and that's gonna be the answer. So it looks different each time, but it really isn't.
