Heh!
That was pretty good.
Bookmarking.
Where’s #18?
Hey is right... it was missing from the original. Hope you got the right answer anyway. ;)
M = 3*(3*N+3);
M = 9*N + 9 = 10*N + 9 -N
given N a member of {1, 2, 3, ... 9}
Sum (Digits of M) = N + 9 - N = 9
Remarkable.
Very clever! Why do I have the feeling that all FR’s favorite movie is the same?!
I kinda like Grease. I definitely will NOT watch anymore of Obama’a speechs. The Osama midnight endzone dance put me off Obama for good.
See my #8.
That’s why it ended up here 3 seconds after I read it...
We all have a favorite in common!
I ended up with Blazing Saddles.
It took you that long to tire of Soetoro's D.C. clown show?
Very clever - this conundrum has been around for years and the answer is always 9 - don’t know how or why.
That is brilliant;)
I got - 9. The Obama farewell speech of 2012
U musta went 2 publik skool.
Yes. It’s been around for years. I’m just old and forget things like how funny an old joke is until I re-hear it. Lay it out in an excel spreadsheet and you’ll see the pattern. 9-times table from 2nd grade if you went to Cathloic School, if you went to public school 10th grade.
Too old for old math - although I do try to keep up my skills in the grocery store.
40 years ago - one could assign $1 for each purchase. Today you have to assign $7. Try it. I’m usually within 50 cents on the total bill. (law of averages)

It is not my fav, I eill not watch him even for that.
