Find this... Though I should share :P

This is amazing

Your age x7 and then times (x) by 1443 = your age 3 times e.g 151515

Enjoy :D

O btw it doesn't work with a number greater then 100

Without being too cynical it's because 1,443 * 7 = 10,101 (01 01 01) so when you multiply your age you're in essence multiplying by 1 but at different place values.

(admittedly that probably wasn't the best way to phrase it, I don't really know how to explain maths well so maybe someone else could help me with that :P)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who fails to be amazed at these because you can see how it's done. It really takes the fun out of it though :P

Richie; you must be terrible in maths xD

It works every time, I've done it with multiple numbers, including your age.
