Default Puzzle

Got a call from a mate - the entire company is fascinated
by this, and cannot figure out how it does it.

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/mind.php

Took me about 5 minutes to work out how it does it.

The answer comes out as a multiple of 9, have a look at the chart. All
multiples of 9 are the same icon, and that is the icon that comes out in the
mix.

But lots of different icons show up which are the correct answers. Snow
flakes, squiggles, sideways 69. How does it come up with the right one
each time? It doesnt just show the same icon.

Take a look at the icon for 9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81
The icons change every time randomly, but in every set these numbers will
always have the same icon.

That explains why I was getting a 60/40 correct ratio. My subtraction is
a bit shaky.

The text in the background is very like one of the rabid outbursts of
sir.tony [1].

[1] unless there is a hidden meaning that I'm waaay too hungover to see.
