We all love Math tricks
Here is one trick that you can play on your friends. First off grab a piece of paper and a pencil. Write the number 3937 on the paper, fold the paper and hide it.
Next hand your friend a piece of paper and a pencil and ask them to write the year that they were born on it. Next write the number of days there are in a week. The next number to be written is the year that your friend began attending school. Then his/her age. Next write the number of years your friend attended school and then have your friend add up all the numbers. The answer your friend should produce is of course the same number you have already written down on your paper, the 3937. Of course if your friend if off on any of the number this trick will not work properly.
The next trick is to write down the number 2178 on a piece of paper and hide it. Then have a friend write down any number between 100 and 1000. Though the number he or she chooses must not end with 00 and the difference between the first and last digit must be more than one. In other words numbers such as 101, 102, 536, and so on are ruled out in this trick. Next have your friend reverse the numbers and subtract the smaller number from the larger number. Next have your friend to the same thing with the new numbers only this time add the number rather than subtract them. Then multiply the numbers by 2. Then pull out your hidden answer and compare with your friend.
