Power in Numbers How it Works The steps: Pick a number between 1 and 9 Multiply your number by 9 w number by 12,345,679 We will guess your number The Trick: Simple (or not-so-simple) arithmetic! Note: We multiplied our number by 9 and by 12,345,679

Age Analysis Multiply the first number of your age by 5 Add 3 to your new number Double that fig ure Add the second number of your age to that figure And the result is

Age Analysis How it Works The steps: Multiply the first number of your age by 5 Add 3 to your new number Doub le that figure Add the second number of your age to that figure Subtract 6 from th at result And the result is The Trick: Another arithmetic trick! Numbers are sooo cool!

Do You Feel Lucky? Select a three-digit number hat figure The number is divisible by The number is divisible by Do you feel lucky? The number is divisible by

Enter it twice in the calculator (e.g. 123123)

Do You Feel Lucky? How it Works The steps: Select a three-digit number Enter it twice in the calculator (e.g. 1231 23) Double that figure The number is divisible by 11 The number is divisible by you r original 3-digit number Do you feel lucky? The number is divisible by 7 AND 13 An d the result is The Trick: Entering a three-digit number twice (e.g. 123123) is e quivalent to multiplying it by 1001. Since 1001 = 11 x 7 x 13, the sixdigit numb er will be divisible by 7, 11, 13 and the original three-digit number.

Curious Math Try this and you will be amazed Follow the rules Just do it step-by-step Here we go

And do not cheat

Curious Math Pick a number from 1 to 9

Subtract 5

Multiply by 3

Square the number (that is multiply the number by itselfNOT square root and yes, you can square 0. 0 x 0 = 0)

Curious Math Add the digits until you get only one digit (e.g. 64 = 6 + 4 = 10 = 1+ 0 = 1) If t he number is less than 5, add 5 Otherwise, subtract 4 Multiply by 2 Subtract 6

Curious Math Map the digit to a letter in the alphabet (e.g. A=1, B=2, C=3, ) Pick a name of a c ountry that begins with that letter Take the second letter in the country name, a nd think of a mammal that begins with that letter Think of the color of that mamm al

Curious Math You will be amazed

Are you ready

Here we go

You have a gray elephant from Denmark!

Curious Math How it Works or at least you probably have a gray elephant from Denmark. The trick: The first h alf of this magical problem is another arithmetic trick. You will (it is certain ) map a letter to the number 4 to get D). From there we are not certain where you w ill go, but your answer is quite probable! e.g. You could have selected another country that starts with D such as the Dominican Republic or Dominica or Djiboutibu t it is not probable. You also could have selected another animal that starts wi th E such as an elk or an erminebut thats not probable either : )
