From my Facebook feed ~ I have no clue how/why this works, but it DOES ~ :b ~ Sooz

THIS is AMAZING
And it is accurate!

DO NOT MISS. STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING & DO THIS.!!!!!!!!!

Do this math problem; amazingly, it will reveal your all-time favorite movie.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved math tricks. This one really works! It will take you only about ten seconds and, amazingly, it will reveal your all-time favorite movie.

I'm pretty good at math, so I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my mathematical calculations. Each time I got the same answer, and sure enough, it IS my very favorite movie...EVER!

DO NOT cheat. DO YOUR math, THEN compare the results on the list of movies at the bottom. You will be AMAZED at how scary true and accurate this test is:

1. Pick a number from 1-9.
2. Multiply that number by 3.
3. Add 3.
4. Multiply by 3 again.
5. Your total will be a two digit number. Add the first and second digits together to find your favorite movie (of all time) in the list of 17 movies below:

Movie List:
1. Gone With the Wind
2. E.T.
3. Blazing Saddles
4. Star Wars
5. Forrest Gump
6. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
7. Jaws
8. Grease
9. The Trump Resignation Speech
10. Casablanca
11. Jurassic Park
12. Shrek
13. Pirates of the Caribbean
14. Titanic
15. Raiders of the Lost Ark
16. Home Alone
17. Mrs. Doubtfire

... Now, isn't that something?

That 6 you'll have to explain, Oskar.
It might be your path to the Math Nobel prize or better yet, the Fields Medal. :b

6. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Great movie, good music but only worth watching once (IMO).

Your ending number cannot be 6.
With any number you pick between 1 to 9 you will end up with a number where the first digit added to the second digit MUST be 9.

Forget the first line (pick number between 1 - 9. It's just something to confuse you.
Start with line 2: 3 or a multiple of 3, add 3, multiply again by 3

(3x+3)x3 = 9x+9
this number will be a multiple of 9 for all numbers N
all multiples of 9 have a feature in common:
their digits add up to 9.

A quick shout-out of Grabem's resignation speech being your favorite movie would suffice. :D

Only if that's the beginning of a process that leads to some serious jail time for him and other crooked politicians.

If it was a incoherent as the rest of his speeches how would anyone know if had resigned.....and what about if he changed his mind a few days later and gave a "how glorious a president am I" speech....could he be held to the original murky resignation?
