Amazing math trick predicts your favorite movie of all time

[garybeck]

Here’s a math trick that really works.
It will take you approximately ten seconds and, amazingly, it will reveal your all-time favorite movie. I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my mathematical calculations. Each time I got the same answer, and sure enough, it is my very favourite movie…EVER! DO NOT cheat. DO YOUR math, THEN compare the results on the list of movies at the bottom. You will be AMAZED at how scary true and accurate this test is:
Pick a number from 1-9.
Multiply that number by 3
Add 3.
Multiply by 3 again.
Your total will be a two digit number. Add the first and second digits together to find your favourite movie (of all time) in the list of 20 Movies, below.

9. Clever ... with all numbers divisible by 9 ... the digits add up to 9 or a multiple of 9 (18,27,etc)

And the formula always leads to a number divisible by 9 (since you multiply by 3 twice)


Neat

[The King of Prussia]

11. Only if you start with a whole number.

[mr_lebowski]

16. True, the formula does require beginning with an integer :) nt

[The King of Prussia]

10. I got Blazing Saddles

Which is wrong.

[angstlessk]

14. follow the instructions try again n/t

[The King of Prussia]

19. Started with 1 1/3

Got to Blazing Saddles.

[angstlessk]

20. Try the formula

1 times 3 = 3 plus 3 = 6 times 3= then add each of the two digit together that's the formula starting with 1

pick any other number up to 9

[The King of Prussia]

21. It only works with whole numbers

And that makes the mathematics too easy.

[angstlessk]

22. It's not a math quiz...

it's a joke, get it?

[AirmensMom]

12. I got Raiders of the Lost Art.

Not even close.

[angstlessk]

15. follow the instructions try again n/t

[AirmensMom]

17. Seriously?

Your answer is that I didn't follow instructions? I followed them exactly. There is no magic to this.

Not only is my favorite movie not on that list, but there are a least 3 movies I like more than Raiders.

[angstlessk]

18. Seriously,

their is only one answer, and it ain't Raiders

[North Shore Chicago]
