Question

For those who have played my game before I will amaze you again! and for new comers, enjoy!

1. Pick a number (any number you'd like, remember this number)

2. Double your number (muiltiply it by 2)

3. Add 10 to your new number.

4. Divide the number you now have by 2.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

AAAHHH!!!! I hate math!!!

Answer 5

yeah, but i played this games two yrs back

Answer 6

WOW I am amazed! Star for you lady!

Answer 7

too easy, you multiply your number by 2 then divide by 2 its back to where you start, but if you add 10 inbetween before you divide then you will naturally end up with 5 more than your original number.

Try the same thing but add 8 instead of 10. Your final answer will be 4

Answer 8

OMG KOOL!

Answer 9

ohhhh my gosh i love those things! my number was 2! sooo 2 x 2 = 4 + 10 =14 / 2 = 7 - 2 = 5!!!!!! that is so weird how it always works out!

Answer 10

I started with -2 and it still worked...

Answer 11

That's awesome, how did you find this out? My number was -100!

-100

-200

-190

90

-5!!!

If you do it with a negative number, you get negative 5. Unless I can't do math. Then I'm completely wrong.

Here's a star!

Answer 12

wow that is old you did not make that up

Answer 13

Answer 14

hey dats easy. you substracted the number you started with in the last step.......

Answer 15

i tried it with a couple numbers and it still ended up being 5...right on

Answer 16

WOW!! Thats so weird! My original number was 5 and the end # was 5! props for you! here, have a star!!

Answer 17

55656

111312

111322

55651

5

I know how it worx, but you are very clever if you made that up, I couldn't.

Answer 18

How in the heck you do that? I used a couple different numbers and it all goes back to 5. Kudos on that.

Answer 19

It works! This is great. 2 2x2=4 +10=14/2=7-2=5

If your number is 3: 3 3x2=6+10=16/2=8-3=5

I heard smthng. similar on Y! answers: Pick number. double it, add 12, divide by 2, and subtract original number.

You always get 6 no matter what you pick.

Answer 20

What the? I got 38.5. Oh boy I sure screwed up.
