I know how much money you are carrying


Don't tell me how much money you have; I do not wish to be nosy, but I bet I can figure it out! It’s fun.

  • First of all, count how much money you have in your wallet. If you have small change, round to the nearest dollar (if you have 55.15 dollars, then just round to 55 dollars.)
  • Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
  • Add 3 to the result
  • Multiply by 5 (if needed, use a calculator to figure out)
  • Subtract 6 from what you get
You will end up with a number that ends in the digit 9. Remove this digit and keep the remaining number (ex. 459 —> 45)

The rest of the numbers will equal THE MONEY IN YOUR WALLET!

Example of the process

Let’s say you started with $123. Let’s see how each step would work.
First you multiply this number by 2 —> 246
Then you add 3 to the result —> 249
Next you multiply by 5 —> 1245
Finally you subtract 6 —> 1239.

The last digit is 9 and the remaining digits are 123–exactly how much money you started with!
