        Try it without looking at answers

1) Pick your Favourite number between1-9

2) Multiply by 3 then

3) Add 3, then again multiply by 3

          4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number....

5) Add the digits together....

Now Scroll down ..............

Now with that number see who your ROLE MODEL is from the list below:

1. Einstein

2. Nelson Mandela

3. Jacob Zuma

4. Tom Cruise

5. Bill Gates

6. Mahatma Gandhi

7. Brad Pitt

8. Adolf Hitler

9. MrsMojo

10. Barack Obama

I know....I just have that effect on people....one day you too can be like me.... :-) Believe it!

PS. I am your idol, just deal with it!

heehee joshierocks.

Just cos I want to be a Maths teacher...

Start with x.
Multiply it by 3 you get 3x.
Add 3, 3x + 3.
Times 3, 9x + 9 which is always going to be a multiple of 9 [that is, 9(x + 1)].

The individual digits of any multiple of 9 (to a certain point) are always going to add up to 9. The adding 3 is a bit of obfuscation - you could just multiply the first number by 9, then add the digits together, but that looks too simple

ETA: all puzzles like this work on several divisibility rules, so you can always see how they work:

Multiples of:
2: the last digit is divisible by 2.
3: all the digits of the number add up to a multiple of 3.
4: the last two digits are divisible by 4 (e.g., 24).
5: the number ends in 0 or 5.
6: the number is divisible by 2 and by 3.
8: the last three digits are divisible by 8 (e.g., 144).
9: all the digits add up to a multiple of 9.

Yes, I am a big geek.

Gosh, who thought I'd come on here and get a maths and english lesson - I had to google obfuscation.... good to see my private school education did me well!
