All your base are belong to us (or AYB or AYBABTU or just All Your Base) is an internet phenomenon that came about when in 1992 the Japanese game Zero Wing was poorly translated into English.
A character named CATS made (now famously) the proclamation: All your base are belong to us.

From then on, groups of game enthusiasts began to digitally alter various images to include the phrase-the fire spread and a phenomenon was born.

The phrase is now commonly used as a battle cry for games, especially those played over the internet.

All the hype about AYB can be found here.

I’m so very excited because today I got to know how this
www.mysticalball.com works.

[for those who don’t know, this site claims it can read your mind by asking you to pick a random two-digit- number, add its individual digits and subtract the sum from the original number. The site then claims to know your final answer.]

It goes like this:
whichever number you choose, the final answer will be a multiple of nine.
eg. 28; 2+ 8=10; 28-10=18……67; 6+7=13; 67-13=54 and etc.
Now, on the site you will notice that all the multiples of nine have the same symbol.
So whatever number you choose, whichever symbol you get, the site will always ‘know it’.

Try it and see……..
