Does Anyone Know Any Good Number Tricks?
My friend has an uncle who always tells him number tricks. He then comes in to school and boasts and does not tell anyone about the magic behind them, can someone help me out so that I can trick him or belive him that I can read minds.
there is one that goes:
you say to the person “write down a 3 digit number that has no double digits or zeros.” e.g. 469. then tell them “now reverse it” e.g. 964 then say “take the smaller number from the bigger one”
e.g. 964 – 469 which equals 495.
tell them “tell me the last digit” when they tell you you always know that the middle digit is 9 and the first digit plus the last will equal 9 so you can guess 495.
good luck . Xo.
Ask your friend to write down any 3 digit number on a piece of paper. Then write it again after itself forming a 6 digit number. So for example, if he picked 153, he would write 153153. This is all done in secret so you can’t see the number (but it doesn’t matter).
Now have him pass that piece of paper to someone else. Tell your friend that you are going to think of a factor of his new number. Think for awhile and then say “7″ and have the person divide by 7. It will always come out evenly.
Example:
153153 / 7 = 21879
Next pass that piece of paper to someone else and again say that you are thinking of factors of this new number. This time say they should divide the resulting number by 11. It will again come out evenly.
Example:
21879 = 1989
Finally have them hand the paper back to your friend, pretend to think for a bit and ask him to divide the number by 13. Again it will come out evenly and the result will be the original number that he picked.
Example:
1989 / 13 = 153
Ask the person to pick a number (Any number) then ask them to multiply the number by 2, let them tell you the number, then divide the number they told you by 2, the result will be the number that they picked before multiplying, use this trick and shock them! TARAA!
