Finally--a math trick for people who will follow directions!
Try this... it works!!
Don't cheat by scrolling down or it *won't* work!

STEP ONE:
Pick a number between 1 and 100.
Multiply it by 5.
Add your age minus the number in family.
Divide the number by 10 rounding to the nearest decimal.
Write down the number on one side of a piece of paper.

STEP TWO:
Pick another different number between 1 and 100.
Multiply by 1998.
Add the number in your family and subtract your age.
Divide the number by 10 rounding to the nearest decimal.
Write down the number on the other side of the piece of paper.

STEP THREE:
Take the first 2 digits of your home phone number and add them to the
last 2 digits of your work number and multiply by 365.
Write the number on a new sheet of paper.

STEP FOUR
Fold the first page in half.
Now fold the second page.
Place them side by side.
Now pick up the two sheets - sheet one in your left hand and sheet
two in your right hand.

NOW....


Find a bin/drawer and place the sheets in it....

Scroll down...















No peaking, follow the directions or it won't work.
Scroll down some more.....






















Now using both your hands...

Scroll down...
















slap yourself around the head while repeating:

"Why do I even read a joke poasted by pat?"

Ok, but what's the answer...?

I did it in the bathroom, and it's harder than heck to write on that paper...  I had to stop halfway through, the first time, since I hadn't brought in a calculator.  I mean, I do a lot of reading in there, but not much writing or calculating.  I sorta messed up, too, when I first tried it when I got my age wrong.  And I wasn't sure how many to count for "family"...  I mean, there aren't that many, unless I'm including in-laws and nieces and stuff.  And if I add in their pets, that's gonna boost it even higher.

So, anyway, that was alright.  I'm not sure if I got it right... if it's supposed to come out to be your street address, or license plate number, then I probably didn't do something right.  Or the "Queen of Clubs"; I didn't get that, either.  And there's no way you can't not do it; I mean, there were 4 exclamation marks encouraging you, including two in a row!!  Nobody can resist that.

Ace; next is a grammar trick; cool.  I know I'm gonna ace this next one.
Ring bells for service.
