My Ride: 2005 545i with Sport Pkg, Nav, HUD, Cold Weather Pkg, Rear Shades
Here's how it works:
Take the answer you typed in, add the digits, and round it up to the nearest multiple of 9. Your guess is the difference between the nearest multiple and the sum of the digits.
Eg: say I start with 6537. Jumble it to be 3765. The result is 2772 (i.e. 6537-3765 =2772). If you circle the last 2, then ur input is 277 (or 727, or 772).
Add 2,7,7 = 16. The closest multiple of 9 is 18. The difference between 16 and 18 is, drum-roll, 2.
