Subject: THE MOVIE TEST
This is amazing, and I have no idea how this works, but it does...
The Movie Test
Try this test and find out what movie is your favorite, but don't look at the movie list
till you have done the math! It will predict which of 18 films you would enjoy the most.
1. Pick a number from 1-9.
2. Multiply by 3.
3. Add 3.
4. Multiply by 3 again.
Now add the two digits together to find your predicted favorite movie in the list of 18 movies below.
Movie List:
1. Gone With The Wind 2. E.T. 3. Beverly Hills Cop 4. Star Wars 5. Forrest Gump 6. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly 7. Jaws 8. Grease 9. The Defeat of Obama in 2012 10. Casablanca 11. Jurassic Park 12. Shrek 13. Pirates of the Caribbean 14. Titanic 15. Raiders Of The Lost Ark 16. Home Alone 17. Mrs. Doubtfire 18. Toy Story
Magic!!!
Charles aka The Chief
Ha. All roads lead to 9. This would infuriate the HuffPo crowd.
Brilliant! Can I borrow this for my e-mail list?
I'm sure someone can explain it better, but the series of operations guarantee that you will end up with a result in which the individual digits add up to 9.
Watched “American Gangster” this weekend (Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe). Excellent movie. IMHO
Very clever
Printed it off for the wife.
Thanks :-)
Worked for me. ;)
Wonderful. LOL!
Uncanny!
LOL amazing.
I’m thinking Obama is really truly an American Gangster. And the sequel to American Gangster is.....
The Defeat of Obama in 2012
Send this to all the Dem members of Congress who LOST!!!
I think my favorite movie would be: “The Resignation of Barack Obama.”
Orange Kangaroo in Denmark?
Highlight for the secrets of how this works.
1. Pick a number from 1-9.
The set of possible numbers is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
2. Multiply by 3.
The set of possible numbers is {3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27}
3. Add 3.
The set of possible numbers is {6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30}
4. Multiply by 3 again.
The set of possible numbers is {18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81,90}
Now add the two digits together to find your predicted favorite movie in the list of 18 movies below.
All of the possible results follow the formula 9x+9, so they are all multiples of 9. The sum of the digits of any multiples of 9 are also multiples of 9.
Wow! It’s the 9 trick.
Casablanca
...from Chicago, no less
