This is amazing. Try it. Just do the math. You will be impressed.
Math quiz takes only 10 seconds.
MATH QUIZ: Reveals your favorite movie!!
I am very good at math, so I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my numerical capabilities.
Each time I got the same answer, and sure enough it IS my very favorite movie EVER.
DO NOT cheat and scroll down to the movies. Do YOUR math, THEN compare the results to the list of movies at the bottom.
You will be AMAZED at how scary, true and accurate this test is
1. Pick a number from 1-9.
2. Multiply by 3.
3. Add 3.
4. Multiply by 3 again.
5. Now add the two digits of your answer together to find your favorite
movie (of all time) in the list of 17 movies below:
Movie List:
1. Gone With the Wind
2. E.T.
3. Blazing Saddles
4. Star Wars
5. Forrest Gump
6. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
7. Jaws
8. Grease
9. The Obama Farewell Speech of 2012
10. Casablanca
11. Jurassic Park
12. Shrek
13. Pirates of the Caribbean
14. Titanic
15. Raiders of the Lost Ark
16. Home Alone
17. The Wizard of Oz
Now, isn't that something?
