* Think of any number that has at least two digits. (The number cannot be all zeroes) * Add up all the digits in that number * Subtract this total from the original number * Scratch out one of the digits from this result, as long as it is NOT a zero. * Give me the list of the remaining digits. (If there are no remaining digits, you must tell me "there are no remaining digits") ..and.. <HEAVY REVERB> I WILL TELL YOU WHAT DIGIT YOU SCRATCHED OUT!!! </HEAVY REVERB> What is my secret? And why does it work? ======================================================================= Brian MacDonald <brianm@kuci.org> "Capital punishment turns the state into a murderer.
