It's Magic

[pcowgill]

Here’s a little bit of magic for all you golfers. How many times a week do you play golf? Your answer should be between 1 and 5 (if it’s less than 1 why are you on this forum? and if it’s more than 5 you should be on The Tour!)

Now times that by 2

Then add 5

Times that number by 50

If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1758. If you haven’t, add 1757

Now subtract the four digit number that you were born from that number

You SHOULD have a three digit number....ignore the first number...the next two numbers will be your age!

Ah it works- a bit tough on the old mental arithmitic sector of the brain when I have only just got up, but I got the correct answer so I am definitely awake.

Yep, worked for me.

 

[pcowgill]

I agree. A Calculator always helps

Seen it done before, Very good.

What I want to know is, who sat and figured that out?

My favourite is this one. You've probably heard it before but here goes anyway:

Think of a number between 1 and 9.
Multiply it by 9.
If you have a 2 digit answer, add them together, otherwise leave it as it is.
Subtract 5.
Think of the letter that matches the number you have...if a = 1, b = 2 etc.
Think of a European country that starts with that letter.
Think of an animal that starts with the second letter of that country.
Think of a colour that's associated with that animal.


Now, wait for it...



Wait for it......



Are you thinking of grey elephants from Denmark??
