Why, yes. Yes it can.

Unless you stink at math.

First reader to figure out the trick wins . . . hmmm . . . a post dedicated solely to the singing of praises to your superior intellect.

Or I could just publicly poke fun at you, whichever I prefer in my sole discretion and depending on my mood.

    It’s always going to give you a number that is divisible by 9, and each of those numbers in the chart has the same symbol.

    If the first number of your original two digit number is 1, e.g. 12, 13, 16, etc., then you will always end up with 9, because you take away the amount of the second digit, which leaves you with 10, and then take away 1, the first digit, leaving you with 9.

    The same holds true with numbers in the 20’s, 30’s, etc., because 20 minus the first digit of 20, that being 2, is 18, and 30 minus 3 is 27 and so on and so forth…

    And yes, I scored an 800 on the math portion of my SAT.

    And here’s some more math for you…

    Reggie Bush’s TDs this season minus one = Tennessee’s touchdowns this season.
