The Phone number trick

Type in the first three digits of your phone number (not the area code)
Multiply by 80
Add 1
Multiply by 250
Add the last 4 digits
Add the last 4 digits again
Subtract 250
Divide by 2
Recognize the answer?

Its amazing how this works, but all it is is a bit of algebra.

Hard Riddle

Dio's youth lasted for 1/6 of his life. He grew a beard 1/12 more of his life. After 1/7 more of his life , Dio got married. Five years later he had a son. The son lived exactly half as long as his father, and Dio died just four years after his son's death. All of this totals the length of Dio's life.

What was his age when he died?

Need to pass that hard test?

Yes, it is currently summer and everyone is out of school, but its never too early to learn some tips for the upcoming school year.

Didn't study? Most people (smart or average) need to study for every quiz, test or final. However, you might notice that there are some people who never study but still score much higher then you when you studied all night. Here is their secret. What they do is

  1. Keep calm, don't worry about the end result. Just keep focused on the test while taking it
  2. DO NOT CRAM! This is suicide if you did not study, your brain isn't going to handle a rush of information that large so fast and then use it to answer question after question or an essay.
  3. Be logical, If you are taking a multiple choice test don't think of all the answers it could be, but all the answers it definitely won't be. You could also use other parts of the test which include the answer for say question 10 in question 32. This can also be used on tests where you know close to nothing about the subject.
  4. Think positive. I know this can't possibly help, thats what i thought when I first heard this. Turns out by doing this and trusting your first instinct you can score 5-15% higher on a test
By using these simple tips you should be able to score at the very least 5% better on all your test, whether it be middle school, high school, or colloge
