Tis very freaky indeed!
Read about in in a book a while back and decided to give it a crack-it took about 3 of us 15/20 minutes to work out what it was doing..........I won't spoil the fun though :)

Saw similar thing a couple of years ago. Basically the formula works all the time, but it's the symbols that change. Next time do the same equation with the same numbers but you'll find that only the symbols ever change. The symbol (say 45 or 18) is the same for every possible sum from this formula. But it can never be say 28 because this number cannot be achieved through this method.

Took me about 5 minutes. :cool: My cynical mind and my only ever 'O' Level being in Maths (taken a year early if you don't mind) contributed to my rapid assessment no doubt. I know: I am big-headed b*stard! :D
