This is truly amazing and worth the effort

 

This ia a math quiz to reveal your favourite movie. I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my numerical capabilities. Each time I got the same answer, and sure enough it is my very favourite movie!

Do not cheat and scroll down to the movies. Do your maths, then compare the results to the list of movies at the bottom.

You will be amazed at how scarily true and accurate this test is.

1. Pick a number from 1 to 9;
2. Multiply that number by 3;
3. Add 3;
4. Multiply that number by 3 again;
5. Your total will be a two digit number;
6. Add the first and second digits together;
7. Look up the number in the Movie List below.

Movie List:

  1. Gone With the Wind
  2. E.T.
  3. Top Gun
  4. Star Wars
  5. Forrest Gump
  6. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
  7. Jaws
  8. Hang 'em High
  9. The Gillard Farewell Speech of 2013
  10. The Manchurian Candidate
  11. The Pretender
  12. Shrek
  13. The War Wagon
  14. Titanic
  15. Raiders of the Lost Ark
  16. Home Alone
  17. The Sands Of Iwo Jima

Now, isn't that something?

 

My wife and I decided never to go to sleep until we'd resolved an argument. One night we stayed awake for six months.
