Re: [Omaha.pm] RE: figure this one out

GJ.  I didn't write a Perl script to figure it out.  I noticed that 
these series of numbers always gave the same result when you added the 
first two digits together.  It didn't dawn on me until I saw the 
picture changing as you described.

90-99 = 81
80-89 = 72
70-79 = 63
etc...

If you look at the pictures associated with those 9 results, they're 
all the same. The game changes which picture will be the answer for 
each run, but there's only 1 possible answer, and that's the result 
it "guesses".
