    Who Is Your Role Model?

    WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL ???
    Try it without looking at the answers......GET A CALCULATOR (YOUR COMPUTER HAS ONE ON IT)
    1) Pick your favorite number between 1-9
    2) Multiply by 3 then
    3) Add 3, then again Multiply by 3 (I'll wait while you get the calculator....)
    4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number..
    5) Add the digits together
    Now Scroll down ......


    Now with that number see who your ROLE MODEL is from the list below:

    1. Einstein

    2. Nelson Mandela

    3. Abraham Lincoln

    4. Helen Keller

    5. Bill Gates

    6. Gandhi

    7. George Cloony

    8. Thomas Edison

    9. Richard In Smithville

    10. Abraham Lincoln


    I know....I just have that effect on people....one day you too can be like me....Believe it !!!
    P.S.: Stop picking different numbers. I am your idol, just deal with it !!!



    BTW: I checked all the math and it works everytime.

        Nah, I didn't even have to do the math. You've always been my hero, Richard.

          Gotta hand it to the guy on one count. Convinced a nation that the "master race" was Tall, blue eyed, blonds. All the while being a short, funny looking, brown eyed, brunette. That takes some fast taking.

                I get a two digit number to with seven decimal places.


                But it is a holiday, where we stuff our faces, so I started with PI.

                    if the number is N, you first get 3N, then 3N + 3 which is 3(N+1), which multiplied by 3 (second time) is 9(N+1). In other words, you end up with a multiple of 9.

                    and we all know (don't we ?) that given any multiple of 9 (of how many ever digits), adding up all it's digits will always give you a 9.

                    So anybody who did not get a 9 here hates Richard so much that they are subconsciously doing bad math !
