I know this little game. If you would like to play, you need a calculator for one subtraction problem, and you need some form of writing down numbers, whether it be typing them or writing them on paper. The overall objective is in the end, you will have a 3-5 digit number. You circle one, and tell me the others, and I have to guess what you have circled. When it is done right, I have never been wrong. So do you want to play? Instructions are as follows:



1.) On a piece of paper, write down a 5 digit number. Make it completely random with lots of different digits, like for example- 63941.



2.) Jumble up all the digits in your number to make another number. For example, I could make my original 63941 into 41693.



3.) Now you have two numbers, each with 5 digits. Take the entire SMALLER 5 digit number and subtract it FROM the entire LARGER 5 digit number. For example, I would take 63941 minus 41693.

*Be sure to do this step right or it will not work!!! then when I don't get your number right you will think I am an idiot when in all reality, you had a problem following directions or subtracting.* You would be amazed at how many people mess this part up, even college kids and adults--



4.) Ok, now you should have a 3-5 digit number. In rare cases, it may be shorter, but if it is a negative number, you did it wrong, re-read step 3. For those of you still following, draw a circle around one of the digits in your answer (but don't pick a zero because it's already a circle)



5.) Finally, jumble up all the numbers in your answer and type them to me in a message or comment, EXCEPT FOR THE ONE YOU CIRCLED (remember, I am supposed to guess that one).For example, if your answer was 13374, you could draw a circle around the 7 and then tell me "3431"or you could circle one of the 3's and tell me "4371"


Good luck!! Send me your numbers and I will tell you the one you circled in a reply. You can try it as many times as you'd like, I will get it right if you did it right!
