A Promise Is A Promise

Three friends met at one of their regular hangouts and confided to each other that due to the recent financial down turn, they had each lost a lot of money in their businesses. Just then, another of their friend who was a very rich man, walked in.

The rich man told the three that he had just been to the doctor and was told that he had only a short time to live due to a serious illness. After expressing sadness to this rich friend about his health condition, one of the three decided to ask the rich friend for financial help.

The rich man, out of his kind heart agreed to lend each of them $100,000 which will be more than enough to tide them through their difficulties. The only condition he made was that the money had to be returned to him, latest by the day of his funeral. If that happens, they were to throw the money into his coffin during the wake, when he died. They agreed.

A few months later, the rich man passed away and was to be buried within the week. At the wake, the three men were chatting and the first was suddenly overcame with guilt. He confessed to the other two that he had thrown only half of the money into the coffin, as he was still not doing well in his business. The second man thought for a while and told the other two men that he had also done likewise, his situation was very similar to the first man.

The third man then said angrily to the other two, "Shame on you, the both of you !!! Do you know that even though I am not doing well in recovering my business and in fact, I had suffer further losses since we last met; yet I had kept my promise to our dearest departed friend !!

I had thrown in a CHEQUE, not only for the full amount but with interest!”

Mexican Tattoo

You really have to try this, it is so much fun !!

No, I am not talking about getting yourself tattooed. It is this fun little .... ??? .... game?? ... trick?? ..... dunno what you would call it ??? ..... that one of my friends sent me and asked me to try. When I did, I was really puzzled how they could have done it. After playing it a few more times and studying it for quite a bit, I came to the conclusion that it must be some kind of special effects or something like that. Even then, exactly how they manage to get it so well done really baffles me. See it for yourself :)

To find out the answer, read on ....

The Answer ...

After you have decided on the 3 or 4 digits, jumble them up, the answer you get, be it 3 digits or 4 digits answer, will always adds up to 18.

Example, if after the subtraction, you get 3672 ... 3+6+7+2 = 18.

Let take a couple of random examples:

Example 1.
You chose 5476 .... jumble it up to become 6457
Bigger number subtract smaller number .... 6457 - 5476
That will give you 981
9+8+1 = 18

Example 2.
You chose 9876 .... jumble it up to become 8967
Bigger number subtract smaller number .... 9876 - 8967
That will give you 909
9+0+9 = 18

Now, with the remaining 3 digits that you type into the box after you have circled one of them, all we have to do is use 18 to subtract them one by one.

In the case of the first example 3672, if you had choosen 7, then 18-3-6-2 will give you the answer 7, which is the one you had circled.

Important: The initial instruction to chose the 3 or 4 digits have to be a set of random numbers all different from each other.
