### So cool - all the numbers z that are compatible with the formula
([xy]-(x+y)=z, such as 9, 72, etc.) are marked by the same symbol on the
chart, and this symbol shows up on the ball as well, during each try. The
symbol then changes on subsequent tries. Very neat, because initially you do
not pay attention to all the other numbers (such as 2 or 73) which do not
fit the formula, and need to cheat to see the trick.
