 Adding
a series of ten numbers
- Have a friend choose and write down a single-digit number. (Two digits for experts.)
- Ask your friend to name and note a third number by adding the first two.
- Name a fourth by adding the second and third. Continue in this way, announcing
each number, through ten numbers.
- Ask your friend to add up the ten numbers. You will give the answer before he
or she can finish:
The sum of all the terms of this series will be the seventh number multiplied
by 11.
Example:
- If the numbers selected are 7 and 4:
- The series jotted down is: 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322.
- The seventh number is 76. 11 × 76 = 836
(use the shortcut for 11: 7 is the first digit, 6 is the third digit;
the middle digit will be 7 + 6, and carry the 1: 836).
- So the sum of the ten numbers is 836.
