Got it. (finally) My wife had to point out to me...

*** spoiler ***









Look at the symbols for the numbers 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, and 81. Now, think about the results you get each time you do the math.

A well designed and cute movie, but a very simple mathematical rule.
The changing symbols were a nice touch.
Worth forwarding on to my "humanities" studying friends who will no doubt tear out their hair to figure it out.

Well, that one lasted about five seconds. I prefer the Matrix one that took away the one of the three cards you were concentrating on (plus the other two cards, but you weren't supposed to notice that *chuckle*).

http://www.philosophers.co.uk has the matrix one. It takes me two runs to figure it out.

I pretty much had it figured, apart from the changing symbols... That jsut makes it that little bit more obscured...
