This little Jedi mind trick is kinda freaky, until you think about it a little while. Then it's even more weird. I got it from a Humor List that I subscribe to. If you would like to join it, see the information at the bottom of the page.

Just follow the instructions below:

DON'T scroll down too fast. Do it slowly and follow the instructions below exactly, do the math in your head as fast as you can. It may help to say the answers aloud quietly.

Julie's Note: Did you figure out why the number was 7?
You should have gotten the number 7 if you chose it quickly.

Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them...really. Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something).........

Freaky, huh?

All you need to do this is yourself, and maybe a calculator if you're not good at math

PICK A NUMBER from 10 to 100 (but don't tell anybody what it is!)

then DOUBLE IT.

Now ADD 12.

then DIVIDE BY 2.

Finally... SUBTRACT YOUR ORIGINAL NUMBER. (do you still remember it?)

And here's the weird part:

YOUR ANSWER IS 6. (Creepy, isn't it?)

A dozen, a gross and a score,
Plus three times the square root of four,
    Divided by seven,
    Plus five times eleven,
Equals nine squared and not a bit more!


12 + 144 + 20 + 3(sqr(4))            2
------------------------- + 5(11) = 9 + 0
            7
