77 is 12.
12 is 6.

3 is 5.

And 4 is the magic number.

It's sorta spooky math genius. And I'd share how it's done but I'd love to see someone figure out how it's done.

It was something me and my kids were taught at the mom-son camp we went to earlier this year. I thought it was pretty nifty.

Does it? I didn't know that. I can see why it's considered unlucky in the Chinese culture then, lol.

Me? Evil? Nah... [ninja]

And after that brutal word search puzzle, this is surprisingly easy. [lol]

jellysundae 11-19-2014 01:36 PM

Stop trying to turn this around to make me the evil one! [illgetu]

[lol]

Liztress 11-19-2014 01:55 PM

I'd never do that! [lmao]

jellysundae 11-20-2014 12:19 PM

Yeah right! [lol]

Liztress 11-20-2014 07:00 PM

So mean, Jelly, so mean. Can't you trust this face? [afrod_harhar]

jellysundae 11-20-2014 07:58 PM

[lol]

Liztress 11-20-2014 08:25 PM

Yeah... That's not really a trustworthy face. [lol]

So, wanna pick some random number for me to turn into 4. [:P]

I think I see what you did. Lemme test it...

514 = 19
19 = 8
8 = 5
5 = 4

23,892 = 40
40 = 5
5 = 4

[insane]

You got it. [XP]

Reminds me of the 9 trick, where any number multiplied by 9 will add back to 9.

9 x 9 = 81
8 + 1 = 9

9 x 13 = 117
1 + 1 + 7 = 9

87,612 x 9 = 788508
7 + 8 + 8 + 5 + 0 + 8 = 36
3 + 6 = 9

Liztress 11-21-2014 03:42 AM

I love math tricks. xD

Have you heard the one that helps you figure out what [x] times 9 is with the use of your hands? Of course, [x] has to be 10 and lower.

Captain Howdy 11-21-2014 03:47 AM

Hadn't heard of that. ;D

That's a neat trick for kids just learning their multiplications.

Liztress 11-21-2014 03:57 AM

It's the one I taught mine. Or rather, I assume they were paying attention when I told them about it. [lol] And I told them that, to me, the super easy way to know what anything times 10 equals to is by adding a 0 to the end of the number. And with 100, you add two 0's and so on with 1000...

Dandelioness 11-21-2014 11:03 AM

Ok. I'd like to see you turn 7 into 4 [afrod_harhar]
Btw is Vedic math tricks, or theory?

Liztress 11-21-2014 11:15 AM

7 is 5.
5 is 4.

4 is the magic number.

I had to look up Vedic math. I'd consider it a trick. It's not something I was taught in school.

Captain Howdy 11-21-2014 11:24 AM

1,946,342,883 = 88

88 = 11

11 = 6

6 = 3

3 = 5

5= 4

Maaaaagic Namba FOUR! [insane]


Maha-Aamir 11-21-2014 12:51 PM

Liztress 11-21-2014 02:37 PM

It's magic! XD

And actually, very easy. [ninja]
