Think of a number
« on: September 16, 2015, 04:09:53 PM »
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.

That's because you don't do it - the Tooth Fairy does.

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.
