Default OT How do this work?

You're right. I looked at it for three minutes the first time. With
the change each time and the subset of viable numbers available (any
time you add the numbers of a two-digit number and then subtract that
sum from the original number, there are only 9 possible answers) after
"subtracting," you give the 9 possible answers the same symbol. It
will work every time.

In math circles, its called "Casting out Nines". You get the same effect on
