Fun With Math

This math exercise can predict your all time most watched film, mine was Saving Private Ryan. (Cuzzin Ricky's)

Try it without looking at the answers. Surprisingly it works!

Pick a number from 1 - 9.
Multiply it by 3.
Add 3.
Then multiply by 3 again.
Get your answer by adding the two digits together.

Good Luck !!

Your all time most watched movie is:

What? Disagree?

Anonymous said...: Operations #1 (Pick a number...) through 3 (Add 3) resulted in a number that was divisible by three. This was then multiplied by 3, which means whatever number you pick, your final answer must be a multiple of nine.
The sum of the digits of any multiple of nine themselves add up to a multiple of nine, i.e. whatever number you picked, adding the digits of the final answer had to be nine.

Proof that the sum of the digits of any multiple of nine themselves add up to a multiple of nine:
1) Let the final answer be represented by "AB" = 10A + B, for example, "34" = 10*3 + 4.
2) Assume that A + B = 9.
3) Question: Is (10A + B) a multiple of 9?
4) Subtract:
(10A + B)
-(A + B) (9 [already stated in 2)]
___________
9A
We know that 9A has to be a multiple of 9.
Since 9A is a multiple of 9, and (A+B) is a multiple of 9, it follows that (10A+B) must be a multiple of 9.
You're welcome.

Therefore, I denounce this "test" as a fraud.

However, I would like to recommend The Joy of Anal Sex with Female Goats and Leather-Clad Fat Girls.; 12/10/09, 6:47 PM
