Here we go... Think of a number between 1 and 100. Ok.... if you're thinking of a two digit number, add the digits together. For instance, if you were thinking of the number 99, then 9+9=18. If you now have a single digit number, hold on to it. If you still have a two digit number, add the digits together again until you have a single digit number. Now.... whatever single digit number you now have, multiply it by 5. Now..... whatever number you've got now, multiply it by two. Ok... whatever number you've got now - subtract 2. Now - if you have a single digit number, hold on to it. But if you have a two digit number, drop the number that is the smallest, and hold on to the larger single digit number. For instance, if you ended up with the number 69, drop the 6 and hold on to the 9. Got it? OK..... now let me read your mind..... ![]() You're thinking of the number.............................. 8!! That's it!! amirite? |

HOLY CARP!!!

It's all a ruse. Any single digit number multiplied by five will result in a product that is a multiple of 5 that is 45 or under. Multiply such number by 2 will give you a product that is a multiple of 10 that is 90 or under. Subtract 2 from that will guarantee that you get a number that is one of {8, 18, 28, ..., 88}. So, yeah, that series of operations guarantee that the final number is 8. |

But, that's not the original number I was thinking of. So, although I did get to 8, I was in fact thinking of 57. |

Heh. I did chuckle when I read that number, and thought "It's Larry....of course he'd pick 69 as an example" 😁 |
