IJMC - Free Thought?

It seems hard to believe that it is actually the same day that I sent out 
the last post. It has been a seemingly long and industrious weekend for 
myself. I've definately enjoyed the past few days, mostly due to the joys 
and passions of a few people along with the friendship I found in 
another. I can only hope for more times like this. I hope all of your 
weekends were pleasant and that the following week is enjoyable.    -dave






I have an intersting thing I ran across recently that I'd like to
submit.... I tried it, and it really does work!

Try this and you will be amazed! Don't look ahead! Just do it step by
step SLOWLY.

        DO NOT SKIP AHEAD.  Read this message ONE LINE AT A TIME
        and just do what it says.  You will be glad you did.  If not,
        you'll feel like an idiot and wish you had listened.

    1)  pick a number from 1-9

















    2)  subtract 5













    3)  multiply by 3















    4)  square the number (multiply by the same number -- not square
        root)
 












    5)  add the digits until you get only one digit (i.e. 64=6+4=
        10=1+0=1)















    6)  if the number is less than 5, add five.  Otherwise subtract 4.












    7)  multiply by 2
















    8)  subtract 6













    9)  map the digit to a letter in the alphabet  1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc...
















    10) pick a name of a country that begins with that letter











    11) take the second letter in the country name and think of a mammal
        that begins with that letter














    12) think of the color of that mammal











        (keep scrolling)

           DO NOT SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE ALL OF THE ABOVE

    Pretty cool, huh? If you liked
    it, pass it along. Amaze your
    friends, as long as they are
    capable of doing the math and
    know the names of the countries
    of the world.
