Think of a number (remember this number). Double it. Add 6. Half it. Subtract the first number that you thought of. Double it again and then again. Then add 8. Your answer is 20.

Yeah, I got 20! Clever! My hubby also got 17 like a few of the others! But I recalculated it with him and he realised he was wrong - so for all those that lack math skills 2nite - try again! It is always 20. :)
It's a bit like if the digits from a whole number are added up and they can be divided with number 3, then the whole number is dividable with 3. Eg. 522 = 5+2+2=9 9 can be divided with 3, therefore the whole number 522 can be divided with 3...etc

HEY KITNA
Dear you forgot to half it basically in your case divide it by two incase you didnt know that let me put it in order for you
your number was 4
4 double is 8
add six gives you 14
half it gives you 7
subtract the number you thought of gives 3
double it you get 6
double it again give u 12
add 8 to it you get 20 ................
nice work so why arent you in the slow learners class yet u have been bunking ehhh!!!!!!!!!.

Nice one Adeline. Great to see you can't count! You'll always end up with 3 before you do the second and third doubling, as you are basically just dividing 6 by 2.
No matter what number you think of!
Oh, and another one. Nice one LittleBit!

Once you've subtracted the number you first thought of, you're left with 3. Doesn't matter what number you pick - its always 3. So of course it will work.
Isn't it obvious?

thats the oldest math trick in the book. seeings how you subract the number you thought off all your doing is 6 x 2 + 8 = 20.

ok pi (3.141592654) x 2 + 6 = 12.283185307/2
= 6.141592654
- 3.141592654
= 9.141592654 x 2 = 18.28318531 x 2 = 36.56637061 + 8
= 44.56637061
haha i proved you wrong!
edit: ok i know i got this wrong, pi does apply to this rule! :(

Old trick, but worth rehashing! Look how many people didn't get it. They must be pretty dumb if they don't understand how that's done.
