    The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with the light on.

    It's a pity there's no spoiler tags in this forum.

    My hint is to work out what your end number is for the numbers either side of your starting number, and then look hard at the table

    This is so basic I cant see how it fools anyone.

    pick 27, 27 - (2 + 7) = 18
    pick 28, 28 - (2 + 8) = 18

    pick 44, 44 - (4 + 4) = 36
    pick 45, 45 - (4 + 5) = 36

    the only possible outcomes are 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72 and 81.

    All they do is rearrange the "gifts" each time you restart making sure that all the "possible" outcomes have the same gift on them. the rest dont matter as they cant come up anyway.

    Problem solved.

    Dont applaud, just throw money.

    he said look at the table. obviously you have to take the table cloth off, then it will all be clear, provided it is a glass table of course.

    Given this is a woodwork forum, remove the cloth, sand back to 400grit and apply 2 coats of varnish.
