OK friends and neighbors ,got a little math trick from deep in the recesses of useless knowledge that is my brain.
Amaze your friends,stump your co-workers and be generally annoying as you ask them questions that you already know the answer to.
It goes like this:
Ask your victim to pick a 3 digit number,we'll use 394 for this example but all 3 digit numbers will work as long as they aren't all the same number like 444 or the like.
Take 394,then turn it around to 493 then subtract the smaller from the larger:
493
- 394
------
099
Now take the 099 and turn it around which makes it 990 and add those 2 together
099
+990
--------
1089
There you have it !Just for fun I usually write 1089 on the back of the paper I let them do the math on just for dramatic effect.
As you can see it doesn't take much to keep me entertained .Hope y'all get to have a little fun with this!
