How does she do it?
Magick!
They are only ten numbers that can be chosen and those ten numbers all have the same gift
The game asks you to select any two digit number (example 25). Next, you are to subtract the both the first and second digits from your number (example: 25 – 2 – 5 = 18). Then you are to select a gift from a grid of all possible answers. In the final page, Regifting Robin correctly guesses your gift. So how does this nifty trick work?
The equation can be represented as: (10*x + y) – x – y = 9*x
Using our example, x = 2 and y = 5, so that’s (10*2 + 5) – 2 – 5 = 9*2 = 18.
In the gift grid, each 9*x box has the same gift, e.g., the boxes numbered 9, 18, 27, 36, etc. all are marked “Bath Salts.”
The selected gift is changed each time to make the trick seem more real.

/or something like that :confused:
In other words whichever two digit number you choose the result of the equation (subtract the both the first and second digits from your number) is a multiple of nine.
All the multiple of nine gift squares to choose from are the same.
Thanks fellas. I wont be wracking my brain trying to figure that out instead of getting some sleep tonight.
Now I can go and tell my cousin who sent it to me in an email that I figured it out.
I am just so smart hey? :)
