Try this:

Maybe there is a logical explanation--I don't want to even try to come up with it.

WHY THE FIDO PUZZLE WORKS]


“Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.” -- Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon

What? The fido puzzle works because of cookies? I did it all in my head so does that mean they have cookies in my brain too? :shock:

Here is the explanation I have found http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/jbfido.htm

Hmm. Guess I should check my links before posting!

Not sure how I got that url in there, haven't even looked at that thread in months!! Anyway, the one that I intended the link to point to was the one you listed. :shrug:

This works because when you do the subtraction, the numbers in the result always add up to a multiple of 9.

Oops, kmax and rtb beat me to it! Well, at least I figured it out myself instead of finding a link. :wink:
