TRICKS WITH FIGURES.
How 40 DO some Things That VIII
Appear Wonderful.


Study out the following tricks with
figures. boys and girls. and you will
be able 10 do what ordinary people
will consider wonderful things.
There Is fun for n whole evening In
these tricks.
First.-Have some one determine on
some number in his mind, then mental
~ triple IT, Then take one-half of
the result. If even or the larger half II
odd. Then triple this half. If. then.
the number OF times the result contains
nine is stated aloud, the original figure
can be determined by you. II will be
found that the number originally
thought OF Will be double the number
of mines. or one more IL the number OF
mines be odd. For instance. take 10
If we triple IL the result will be 4S.
Half OF this triple is 81. Triple this
result and we have -. Seventy-two
contains 8 eight times The number
originally thought of is double this. or
16
Second.-Deterruine upon some mum.
Der in the mind. Multiply the number
by itself, then add unity TO the original
number and multiply the sum itself.
The difference between the two prod
ucts will surely be odd. The last half
will be the number required. Thus:
Suppose 10 to be the number thought
OF. 10x10=100.
1O+1=11. 11x11=121. 121-100=21.
The least half OF 81 Is 10. the num-
Der sought.
