GJ. I didn't write a Perl script to figure it out. I noticed that
these series of numbers always gave the same result when you added the
first two digits together. It didn't dawn on me until I saw the
picture changing as you described.
90-99 = 81
80-89 = 72
70-79 = 63
etc...

If you look at the pictures associated with those 9 results, they're
all the same. The game changes which picture will be the answer for
each run, but there's only 1 possible answer, and that's the result
it "guesses".
