Think of a number...

Think of a number...


Think of a number between one and ten. Multiply it by two. Add ten. Divide by two. Subtract the number you thought of... your answer's five.

Hardly a mathematical breakthrough, nor that facetitious. Sustained thought is strenuous, often painful. Simple is what most posters want.

Multiply any whole number by nine. Add the digits of the result. That number itself will be evenly divisible by nine.

Why only between one and ten? It works for [b]any number, even 1,000,000. Even zero.[/b]

Pi x 2 blah, blah, blah = 5. You win again, D/Sin (providing you take pains with to avoid any temptations relating to premature rounding).
