Psychic Flash game

There must be some mathematical explanation for this trick, but it's still kind of freaky:

At first the instructions are a bit hard to follow, but when you understand it and you really, really focus on the symbol and visualize it in your mind, it actually does appear in the "mirror"! Like I said though, it must be some kind of mathematical trick that you'll choose one of those symbols...but I wonder how it knows which numbers you'll choose??

It's simple really. At any time, the symbols are arranged so that no matter which combination of number you choose, the answer corresponds to the same symbol. Choose 99, then 98, then 97, or whatever, before clicking and you'll see it all ends up having the same symbol for the answer.

So there it is.
