Iunno. I guess it's just a magic trick that makes the number always end in the same digits as the year we are right now. *shrug* But either way, it's very entertaining.

How is this a trick...

Maybe this will help.

[Year we are in] - [Age you will be in this year after your birthday] = [Year you were born]

It's not a trick, it's math/addition/subtraction.

It's GRADE 1 MATH and you're the one thinking it's some sort of magical ****ing phenomenon.

Maybe you should analyze it JUST A LITTLE BIT.

Nah. I am actually enjoying something that's fairly entertaining. You're the one who is being overly logical about it.

Oh my God, so it's as simple as Grade 1 math. Big deal.

The big deal isn't that it's as simple as grade 1 math, it's that you're so ****ing stupid you couldn't figure it out on your own before embarrassing yourself.

:/ Wow. Really? You honestly think I am that stupid? I know it's simple math, but I was being entertained by it because I was bored.

Seriously, get rid of that damn attitude of yours and go be obnoxious somewhere else. You're acting like a ***** and no one needs that from you.

Here's another one, with a little extra at the end. It obviously doesn't work every single time, but it's fun when it does! Do the following, in order.



Choose a number between 1-10.

Multiply it by 9.

Then, if its 2 digits, add the 2 digits together.

Example: 25
2+5 = 7

Minus 5 from that answer.

Match up the number you have with the letter of the alphabet
1 = A
2 = B
3 = C
etc...

Think of a country that starts with that letter.

Then think of an animal that starts with the second letter of that country.

Now highlight below..
You are thinking of Denmark and elephant
