Title: weird thing freaking me out

I just did this 6 times, got it right every time. Anyone want to explain how it works?

Saw it a few weeks ago.
I know how it works, but it would spoil the fun if I told you.

If you can't work it out by tomorrow, I'll email you the answer.

Well, it's always the snowflake isn't it?

In that case each time you load it up, it's presenbting you with a different range of symbols each time the thing reloads.

I played it once, but I knew it would have the snowflake and how, because unless my maths was wrong, no other result could be chosen.

Load it up.  But before pressing the button, try another one sum, the result will be the same symbol.

I guess that spoils it for you, but these things drive me nuts when I can't get them.

Cheers

I must be doing something wrong 'cos it gave me the wrong symbol twice.
