Have you ever thought of using maths to trick your friends? well if thats you, here is a nice one!
1. Ask him/her to choose any three [3] different numbers without telling you e.g,012.
2. Tell him/her to write the number backwardly i.e,if he thiks of (210) then he should write (012).
3. Tell him/her to subtract the smaller number form larger number like; 210-012=198.
4. Now ask if it's 2 or 3 digits, if his answer is equal to two digit he should add 0 in front of his answer.
5. Finally tell him/her to write the number backwardly again and add them together e.g,198+891=1089, tell him not to say the answer, then say the answer is 1089.
Now let him show you his/her answer and it must be equal to 1089.
