Advanced Math Trick.........try this
« on: June 06, 2009, 09:54:46 pm »

Think of ANY number
Double that number
Add 10
Divide by 2 (cut in half)
Subtract the first number that you started with
Your answer is:
FIVE (5) :dontknow:

X= number chosen

2X+10
    2

(Reduced)  X + 5

so then.....  X + 5 - X = 5

all the time...... not really an "advanced math trick"  :icon_rr: :bootyshake:
