    This document provides 3 math tricks to impress friends by guessing numbers they are thinking of. The first trick involves having the friend multiply a number by 2 and add 2, then multiply the result by 5 and add 5, and revealing their original number was the first digit minus 1. The second trick involves having the friend multiply an even number by 5 and add 5, then multiply by 10 and add 10, and revealing their original number was twice the first digit. The third trick poses a math problem that appears to show 4=5, but is actually incorrectly set up.

    Numbers are always thought to be related with Maths.

    They
    are indeed related with our day to day life. Here are some
    tricks which you can play on your friends and prove
    yourselves a Genius. Go ahead.

    1. Ask someone to think of a number. Say `em to


    multiply it with 2 and add 2 to the product. Then ask
    to multiply it with 5 and add 5. Ask for the result.
    Reveal the number `ye guessed at once.

    •To do this, note the result as XY.Ignore the last digit i.e. Y.
    The number your friend guessed will be X-1. Eg: If the result
    is 65,the guessed number is 6-1=5

    2. Ask your friend to think of an even number. Ask `em


    to multiply it with 5 and add 5 to it. Then ask to
    multiply it with 10 and add 10.Ask the result. Tell `em
    the guessed number at once.

    •Note the number as XYZ.Ignore the last two digits i.e. Z then
    the number guessed by your friend will be 2X.Eg: If the result
    is 260, guessed number is 2x2=4.

    3. Try to configure what’s wrong with the below


    problem..
    -20 = -20
    16 – 36 = 25 - 45
    81
    Adding on both sides we get
    4
    81 81
    - 36+ = 25- 45+
    16
    4 4
    2 2
     9  9
     4-  =  5- 
     2  2
    Considering the positive root
    9 9
    4- = 5-
    2 2
    4=5
    Is that right?
