Man this is freaky!

Think of a number, any number!

Now multiply it by 2

Add 6

Divide by 2

Subtract the original number

The answer is three

Amazing, ain’t it?

It works with any number, simple math, some crappy magic you have.

I picked 6 and it was wrong! Either that or.... im really bad at math :oops:

Thats cool lol, but like pika said it is simple math.

O and dragonrai6, you must be mad at math, it does come to be 3 no matter what number you use.

I didn't mean to see mean, but this is just...well...eh!

It's jsut messing around with numbers, when you simplify everything. It's n+3-n=3

The original equation is: (2x+6)/2 - x = 3
->( 2x/2 + 6/2 ) - x = 3
-> x + 3 - x = 3

It's just tricking you with other operations and numbers.

so its actually algebraic equation?

dang jeff your good.

Jeff · **Posted:** August 27th, 2005, 9:25 am

You can solve it using Algebraic equations, I think it's easier that way.
