~ derful tricks with 10y 4SoSAA
numbers are really very
simple when the way
they are done is known
One of these remarkable tricks is to add five
rows of figures at sight, beginning at the left
instead of at the right. Let some one write
a row of figures of any length. Under it write
another row with as many figures in it, choos-
ing the figures SO that what you write will
make the sum of o's. Then let the
other write another. equal row under the
second row, and write the fourth row IN the
same way that you wrote the second The
rows may now appear after this fashion
564,37S,o24, 367 ,S54,I7I
4SS,o2I,o75 ,o32,I45,S2S
735,24S, o6,743,756,545
264,75I, 500 $3.50, 243,4S4
The other person then writes the fifth row
and hands YOU the paper to add The sum
will ALWAYS he the last line written, with the
addition OF preflxed at the lett and the
last figure reduced in value. The reason
for it is this: The sum of the four rows of
figures given is 100000, 900 900 ,9o9,9?S II
, is added to this, the sum will be 2 followed
by as many o's we had 9s and g. No mat
ter what figures are written in the fifth line,
the sum can be found by adding the hgures
to O in each case except for the extreme right
hand figure. That must be reduced by 2,
since we added in order to obtain the o's.
The results may be varied in many ways.
Let the other person write two lines, and then
YOU write two, being careful to choose figures
same. Or, let the other person write one full
line and haf-line both above and below, so
that one of the halves is at the right and the
other at the left. Then write your two lines
in the same general manner The sum in this
case will be the two half-lines filled in by the
other person after you have written your
lines, with the prehxed and the end figure
of the right half reduced by ?. An illustration
of the four lines would be:
245,763, ---.---
tSS,O67,i2S,726
$1,000 ,3IS,524
754,236 ,6SI,475
s4Io32,S64,273
The places filed with hyphens are those left
blank at first and later filled by the other person
Another variation of the method is to have
more than two groups of lines that add to
O. The same rules apply no matter how
many groups we use, the only difference being
in the first figure used in the sum and in the
amount to be subtracted from the right hand
figure of the last line written. Thus if three
groups are used, the first figure must be 8,
and must be subtracted from the right hand
figure. If four groups are used, must be
made the first figure, and subtracted from
the last figure of the last line, etc.
