My Brain Teasers

[superball]

I have one more trick if you like math, my sister taught this to me when i was like 12 years old.

 

Card trick, take a deck of cards, ask a person to take out 3 cards that equal 10.

aces are one, ten jack queen king is not allowed. you need the whole deck to pull it off.

they don't show there cards, and they do not go back in the deck.

 

When done you will tell the numbers on the cards only.

 

1. You need to master this, because it depends on speed of flipping, so you can not look like your counting cards.

 

2. Take the remaining pile in your hand, and flip the first card. if its a 10 flip another card on top quickly, 10 jack queen king is ten.

 

3. If not a ten, flip a new pile. you may end up with a bunch of piles by the end of the trick.

 

4. every time a ten comes up flip a card on top, every time 2 piles of cards equals ten, flip a card on both piles.

 

5. If you end up with only one card left at the end, make a new pile.

 

6. now you have a bunch of piles at the end, remove 2 piles that add up to 10. there should be 3 piles left that don't add up to ten.

If one of the last 3 piles is a 3 add 7 and get 10, remove the pile this means he has a seven in is hand, the remaining 2 piles will be an 8 and a 9.

therefore he has a 2, and a ace in his hand the power of 10. enjoy.

 

remove all the piles before you tell what cards he is holding.

 

 

cheers.
