NUMBER GAME !!!
                                     By MOHITH K JOHN

Ask your friend to think of a number .Any number.Now ask him or her to follow the given steps- 1.Add 2 to it. 2.Multiply the resulting number by 2. 3.Add 5 to the the resulting number and multiply the resulting number by 5.Ask the person for his final answer. Now you can easily guess the number in your friend's mind by following these steps- Subtract 45 from the final answer given by your friend. Drop the 0 from the balance to get the number that your friend had originally thought of.This trick will work for any number, any number!!!
EXAMPLE:

Suppose that your friend's number is 8.


                                           
                                           8+2=10
                                          10*2=20
                                          20+5=25
                                          25*5=125
                                         125-45=80
                             Dropping the 0 we get 8.
