				Think of a number from 1 to 10.
 
 Double it.
 
 Add 12
 
 Half it.
 
 Take away the number you first thought of.
 
 And you have the number 6 in your head.
 
 No, I'm not telling you how I do it.

 I had this stupid thought, by doubling the original number you are ensuring that the result is an even number, let's say 3 doubled is 6, then you are adding 12, so we have 6+12, then you halve the total which can also be shown as 3+6, by then taking the original number away [3] you are left with 6, or half of 12.   But that would be too easy wouldn't it?

				There's dark magic involved here. I'm going away to hide from it in a safe wicker structure in the shape of a man.
