This is a fun number trick I made up. If you're not too good at math, use a calculator.
Think of a number
Add 2
Multiply by 3
Subtract 5
Add 8
Divide by 3
Subtract 1
Subtract the number you first thought of
The number that you come up with should be 2.
If you did not get 2, there is something wrong in your calculations (or in mine).
I will tell you how the trick works in my next post if you don't know. If you do know how it works, comment and I'll tell you if you're right. Good luck!
Also, I may do something so that you will get an email any time I post. If you don't wish to receive these emails, let me know. I personally think it will be nice to get an update. But, it may not work.
