Interesting. I could see that there are only a fixed number of possibilities according to the range of the chosen number. I just couldn't see how it decided which number range you'd chosen...
Number Chosen -> Symbol Number
90-99 -> 81
80-89 -> 72
70-79 -> 63
60-69 -> 54
50-59 -> 45
40-49 -> 36
30-39 -> 27
20-29 -> 18
10-19 -> 09
I also noticed that the list of symbols changes every time that you click the crystal ball.
Then it struck me that every time the list is updated all of the "symbol numbers" are given the same symbol so it doesn't matter which you choose, it'll always get it right. 0 thru 8 never change since they play no part in the outcome (you can only choose a 2 digit starting number).
All very simple in the end but fun nonetheless ;D

what he means is that no matter which number you start off with, your answer will always either be 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72 or 81 (9x table) These numbers are all given the same symbol, although this symbol changes each time, and so there is only one symbol you can possibly end up with each turn  |

If you do wrong maths then it doesn't work unless your maths is so wrong that you accidentally get it right. Proof that two wrongs CAN make a right ;D
