Mathematical magic.

Time to do some fun maths. Some really fun math.

This one's actually REALLY famous...

Think of a three digit number. for eg 348
Reverse the digits. 843

subtract the smaller number from the bigger number
843-348=495

add up all three digits and you will get 18.

Try it, it works for any three digit number. the only condition is that the two numbers must be different. for eg you can't take 555 because its reverse is also 555.

Haha try thinking bout it, i'll explain why this always work in the next post.

Fun right?
