If you do the first part this exercise of adding the two integers together and then taking them away from the original number you will find it always comes up a 9 or a multiple of 9. 10 -> 19 produces 9; 20 -> 29 produces 18 and so on until 90 -> 99 produces 81. So, x=9*y where y is the first integer of the two integer number or x=9*(INT(z/10)) where z is the original number. Interestingly 01 -> 09 givres you 0 as you might expect but when we reach 3 integer numbers and add them together there is a change: 100 -> 109 gives 99 (11*9) and not the expected 90. But this is all irrelevant. The sole object of the first part of this puzzle is to get you to think of a number which is a multiple of 9 or 9 itself. This reduces the possibilities from 84 to just 9. You can leave this first stage out and just go to the last page and concentrate of any number divisible by 9 and it still works. In fact if you concentrate on a number which is not a multiple of 9, it will come up with the nearest one which is. How does it know which part of the screen you are staring at? There must be a simple explanation but I cannot see it.
