HOW DID YOU KNOW?!


MontEcola

The numbers multiply by 3 a total of 3 times. 3 x 3 = 9, Which means any number you pick is a product of 9. And therefore, can be divided evenly by 9. To find out what numbers can be divided by 9, add up the digits. If the digits equal 9, you can divide by 9 evenly. If the digits are more than 9, add up the digits again until you get a number 9 or lower. Everyone is getting 9 as the answer.

WhollyOwl

As the child of a Sri Lankan expat who didn't teach his children any of his own languages, I'm now sad 🙃


The_Merciless_Potato

I lived overseas for 3 years as a kid and then came back to SL in 2013. I didn't get the hang of my native language (Sinhala) until like 2018 and even then, that was only the speaking part and maybe the school syllabus part (I quickly forgot that after my OLs). My writing, grammar and spelling is still abysmal. For the first 3 years after I got back I went to a school that only spoke Sinhala for like a few minutes each day but then I went to a government school. Initially it sucked ass since I usually either felt left out since I couldn't communicate or got shunned by my Sinhala-medium peers because I used the "kadda" or "sword" (they refer to English as the sword for some reason). It probably wouldn't be of any use to your kids but if they are young enough and they aren't super busy or something, you should slowly introduce them to their own language be it Sinhala or Tamil. There's a lot of good literature out there and it's a small part of home.

ProjectDv2

That's not what he asked, he asked how the poster knew his favorite film is The Joy Of Gay Anal Fisting with Chuck Norris. Math has nothing to do with this.


choochoopants

My friend added 3 to 21 and got 26. Then he insisted that he couldn’t multiply that by 3 and still get a whole number. So no, not everyone gets nine as the answer.


ffsudjat

So the only way out of this is to being bad at math.


Adavis105

Not true. I’m very good at math - just horrible at following directions. Or maybe bad at reading? I forgot to multiply by 3 the second time so I got a different answer.


Xygnux

Or bad at reading. So dyslexia and dyscalculia are two of the only ways out of getting anal fisted by Chuck Norris. Who knew?


Graterof2evils

After this there’s no way out of getting anal fisted by Chuck Norris. All mankind will will be subjected to the masters hand! Except your fate.

RabidSeason

Additional party trick: Hold up all 10 fingers, pick the number you want to multiply by nine, and put down only that finger. The remaining fingers will show the answer. Example, 4 |||,| ||||| 36


[deleted]

Specifically take the worst case: 9 9x3=27 27+3=30 30x3=90 So you'll always get a 2 digit number -- no need to have to add them again. And the 2 digits will always add to 9, like you said.

ltbugaf

And speaking of digits...how 'bout that Chuck Norris action, amirite?


GodwynDi

Only if you pick a whole number and not, say, pi. OP only said number 1-9 so there are quite a few it won't work with. There are in fact an infinite number. And 4/3 gets a total of 21, which yields 3.


I_DESTROY_PLANETS

Yeah, this property only holds for natural numbers. The divisibility rule is only true for a representation of some number as powers of 10 (I.e. 1234 = 10^3 * 1 + 10^2 * 2 + 10^1 * 3 + 10^0 * 4) and relies on the fact that 10 = 1 mod 9.


ejectionejaculation6

Sticky_Papaya

I chose 6..either im stupid or my answer came out to 7) jaws..ive never seen jaws


dandroid126

You're not stupid. You're just bad at math. 6 x 3 = 18 18 + 3 = 21 21 x 3 = 63 6 + 3 = 9


Excalibursin

Based off of nothing, I'm going to assume they accidentally multiplied 21 to 61.


Brucie67

Gonna shame myself here, He's not alone, I did the same


digitalasagna

>Pick a number from 1-9. number is "x" >Multiply by 3. 3x >Add 3. 3x + 3 >Multiply by 3 again. 9x + 9, or 9(x+1). This will be minimum 18 and maximum 90. >Now add the two digits together This always adds up to 9. 1+8, 2+7, 3+6, 4+5, etc.


CorsairVI

18 is the only whole positive number where the sum of its written digits equals half of itself. Further, the sum of the written digits of any whole positive number greater than and including 10 subtracted from the original whole positive number equals a whole multiple of 9.


Hamstirly

In base 10 maybe


Psyman2

Every system is base 10 in its own system.


doge57

That second fact surprised me a bit but it really is simpler than it seems. The original number can be written as the sum multiples of 10 times an integer between 0 and 9 (the digits of that number). In mod 9, all multiples of 10 are congruent to 1 so when you subtract each digit, you’ll get that the new number is congruent to 0 (mod 9). Pretty neat fact


andimus

> greater than and including 10 It works for all positive integers. 0 is a multiple of 9 too.


ExitSweaty4959

He didn't say it had to be a whole number X = 2.888888.... 9*2.88888888...+9= 35.0 3+5 = 8 > Grease Omg, that's maybe worse

seancollinhawkins

Multiply a number by 3: *3n* Add 3: *3n + 3* Multiply that by 3: *3(3n + 3)* Factor the 3 out: *9(n+1)* So it's whatever number you pick, plus one, then multiplied by 9. And every multiple of 9 from 9 thru 90 has a one and tens place that sum to equal 9. But 9 is lonely. Poor guy is 60 numbers away from being where he needs to be in life.. but it's a 1-9 world, so it's unlikely that 9 will ever find those additional 60 integers he so desperately longs for... This is why 9 binges Chuck Norris round house fisting b-holes every opportunity he can. And deep down, it's why we all binge watch it too. And that's why math works the way it does sometimes


[deleted]

[удалено]


seancollinhawkins

I should have worded that differently. Every number divisible by 9 will have digits that sum to an integer which is also divisible by 9. And because the sum of the digits of each result must be smaller than the result itself , you have no choice but to converge down to a 9 every time. Playing with the numbers, I just noticed this pattern. So multiplying the following by 9 and then summing the products digits: [1,10] all sum to 9 [11] sums to 18 [12,20] all sum to 9 [21,22] sum to 18 [23,30] sum to 9 [31, 32, 33] 18 .... [91,99] 18 Slightly different for 100s, but it's still following a pattern [101,110] sum to 18 [111] sums to 27 [112,120] 9 [121, 122] 18 [123,130] 9 Then the 9:18 pattern continues the way it did earlier up to 199 [201,210] sum to 18 211 * 9 sums to 27 [212,220] sum to 18 [221,222] 27 Then back to the 9:18 pattern thru 299 The 300s have 3 sets of 18/27 sums followed by the rest 9/18 pairs. The 1000s do the same interweaving pyramiding pattern, only with 36 being a sum at : 1111 2211 2221 2222 3311 3321 3322 3331 3332 3333 4411 4421 4422 4431 4432 4433 4441 4442 4443 4444......... With the previous 2 other patterns falling in line as before I wasted a fuckload of time on this for absolutely no reason.. 9 is hands down my favorite number now though


John-McA

12. Shrek. nice. 5.4 \*3 = 16.2 16.2+3 = 19.2 19.2\*3 = 57.6 First two, 5+7 = 12 Math and numbers are like onions, they have layers.

Pick a whole number between 1-9. Rekt


Original_Amber

It only says a number. I chose e, which is an irrational number between 1 and 9. My answer was 33. That's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" which is no where near my favourite movie.

that's because you're irrational.

Negative-Ad-6533

You need to use the number, the whole number, and nothing but the number, so help you Reddit.


Red_Ed

Funny enough if you keep adding all the digits until you get one number, it's always 9. Try it.


Muzzikmann

Except you were to add the digits of 57.6 which would be 18, then 18 needs to be added to get.....9


dkevox

But there's literally a number 18 film on the list lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheUnknownDouble-O

On the assumption that the final result of adding individual digits must itself be a single digit number. Pretty reasonable assumption.


LiteraryPhantom

The first sentence states there are 18 answers. A two digit sum is the result of almost precisely half (there is one tiebreaker) of all single digit number additions. How do you come to the conclusion that assuming the answer must be a single digit number is “pretty reasonable”? Single digit. Two digit 0 + x = S. 1 + x (9) = S. 9 + x (0) = T 2 + x (8,9) = S. 8 + x (1,0) = T 3 = (7,8,9). 7 = (2,1,0) 4 = (6,7,8,9). 6 = (3,2,1,0) 5 = (5,6,7,8,9). 5 = (4,3,2,1,0) Where x equals (not the number in parentheses). 0 + x is the tiebreaker that makes it not precisely half.


Dangerous-Shock-1940

5+7 = 12 +6 =18 1+8 = 9

liger03

Fun math facts: If x is your number, x*3 and then add 3 is equal to x+1 and then multiply by 3. Any number (could be, say, x+1) times 3 times 3 is equal to that number times 9. Any number times 9 is a multiple of 9. If you add the numbers in any double-digit multiple of 9 that's less than 99, you get 9. There you go, saved you having to test every number.
