Gasp, snorkle .. .

The problem is that it would be fiction if it were a movie. I want it to be a DOCUMENTARY instead!

No, I got nine, but when I looked at the list, it looked like 9 WAS Grease.


I usually like these 'tricks', because I was the kid that actually like word math problems. I thought when the answer came out as some lame movie - there was no trick.


I went ahead and converted it.
y = 3(3x+3)

y = 9x + 9

y = will always be some multiple of 9, and all multiples of nine have digits that add up to 9.

Mine neither, and I don’t think I even saw it. My number was 7.
