Do You Feel Lucky? <ul><li>The steps: </li></ul><ul><li>Select a three-digit number </li></ul><ul><li>Enter it twice in the calculator (e.g. 123123) </li></ul><ul><li>Double that figure </li></ul><ul><li>The number is divisible by 11 </li></ul><ul><li>The number is divisible by your original 3-digit number </li></ul><ul><li>Do you feel lucky? </li></ul><ul><li>The number is divisible by 7 AND 13 </li></ul><ul><li>And the result is… </li></ul>How it Works The Trick: Entering a three-digit number twice (e.g. 123123) is equivalent to multiplying it by 1001. Since 1001 = 11 x 7 x 13, the six-digit number will be divisible by 7, 11, 13 and the original three-digit number.

Curious Math <ul><li>Pick a number from 1 to 9 </li></ul><ul><li>Subtract 5 </li></ul><ul><li>Multiply by 3 </li></ul><ul><li>Square the number </li></ul>(that is multiply the number by itself—NOT square root… and yes, you can square 0. 0 x 0 = 0)

Curious Math <ul><li>Add the digits until you get only one digit </li></ul><ul><li>(e.g. 64 = 6 + 4 = 10 = 1+ 0 = 1) </li></ul><ul><li>If the number is less than 5, add 5 </li></ul><ul><li>Otherwise, subtract 4 </li></ul><ul><li>Multiply by 2 </li></ul><ul><li>Subtract 6 </li></ul>

Curious Math <ul><li>Map the digit to a letter in the alphabet </li></ul><ul><li>(e.g. A=1, B=2, C=3, …) </li></ul><ul><li>Pick a name of a country that begins </li></ul><ul><li>with that letter </li></ul><ul><li>Take the second letter in the country name, </li></ul><ul><li>and think of a mammal that begins with </li></ul><ul><li>that letter </li></ul><ul><li>Think of the color of that mammal </li></ul>

Curious Math … or at least you probably have a gray elephant from Denmark. How it Works <ul><li>The trick: </li></ul><ul><li>The first half of this magical problem is another arithmetic trick. You will (it is certain) map a letter to the number 4 to get “D”). </li></ul><ul><li>From there we are not certain where you will go, but your answer is quite probable! </li></ul>e.g. You could have selected another country that starts with “D” such as the Dominican Republic or Dominica or Djibouti…but it is not probable. You also could have selected another animal that starts with “E” such as an elk or an ermine…but that’s not probable either : )
