~~Math tricks~~
Posted in My life
I really don't like math or anything with numbers but these are actually pretty fun. My friend's younger sister Anna showed me these. WARNING: must be able to add, subtract, and multiply ;-) The predicted Answer Write a three digit number with each digit different such as 417. Write the number backwards 714. Subtract the smaller number from the larger. 714-417 Turn the answer backwards and add the this number to the answer. 297+792. The answer will be (if you did the math right;) 1,089. always will be, no matter what number you started out with. This one you can use to figure out a person's age and the month they were born in. Give someone a piece of paper. Ask him to write the number of the month of his birthday. (1 January 2 February 3 March all the way to 12 December) Then ask him to multiply the number of his month by 2 and add 5 o the answer. Next multiply the the last answer by 50, and add his age. To this total add 115, and subtract 365. The first number will be the month of his birthday and the last will be his age. For example a ten year old who's birthday is in March. 3 x2 6 6 +5 11 11 x50 550 550 +10 560 560 +115 675 675 -365 310 3-March, 10-age ~Ness 1361 +115 1476 1476 -356 1120

How cool is that. I never knew numbers could be so interesting. I'll have to try it with my family.
I really liked what you posted on his blog in response to all the coments. It is so true. I jsut think there are too many acceptions to music to say what IS apropriate. It would be sooo much easier to say what IS NOT apropriate. Don't you think.
See you later

P.S. When I got home the other day, I was running my fingers through my hair, and at first I thought I just had a huge knot in it...nope.
Tell Andrew I said 'thank-you' for the gift
;) *laughs* Oh-well.

Mister Joseph C. That is an excelent idea.
She should do a debate about whether or not we should be bailing out the auto industries. I'd totally comment on that, Anna. *starts popping nuckles threateningly at 'you know who'*

Whoa!!! That's cool! I posted a 'math' post ( :-D ) on my blog, but it wasn't as cool as this one. But it was sorta' the same kinda' thing though :-) bailing out the auto industries??? Where did that come from.... but yeah, I would comment on that too, I suppose. I am kind of sick of music, honestly. I spent, like, two weeks doing almost nothing but writing music. :-) don't think I ever commented on Alex's music post, but man, I had a lot of fun reading all the comments! :-D That took a VERY long time. :-)
