A Trick with Figures

Direction:

Write down your house number or your telephone number or the total amount of the coins in your pocket.

Multiply this by 2. To this add 5. Multiply that by 50. Then add your age. Now add 365 (days in the year). Then subtract 615. The last two numbers will be your age, and the other numbers will be your house address, the total amount of coins in your pocket or whatever you decided upon.

Number, Please!

Select a number or use your age. Then do the following:

Number selected................... 27

Multiply by 3........................ 81

Add 1..................................... 82

Multiply by 3...................... 246

Add original number........... 273

Strike off last digit................ 27

I've Got Your Number

Write the number 1,089 on a sheet of paper and hand it to someone to hold. This person must not look at it until asked to do so. Ask the group or one person to write down any number of three different digits.

1.Reverse the number and subtract the smaller from the larger. If only
two digits result, add a zero to make three.

2.Reverse the number which results and add it to the result.

3.Look at the sheet of paper and read the number on it.

 

1.The number chosen.......... 456

2.Reversed........................... 654

3.Smaller subtracted from larger 198

4.Reverse this result............ 891

5.Add the result of ¹ 3 and ¹ 4.... 1,089
