Number game
Try this number game out on a friend. Ask him or her to think of a number between one and 99. Tell him that you can find out the number he thought of if he will do a sum for you. Get him to write down the following: 1. His age. 10 2. Double it. 20 3. Add five. ■ . 25 4. Multiply by 100. 2500 5. Divide by two. . ' 1250 6. Substract the' number of days in a year (365) 885 7. Add the number first thought of (50) ■ - 935 Your friend tells you his total and you add 115. (Example: 935 + 115 1050). The two figures on the left of your total give his age (10) and the two figures on the right give the number he first thought of.
