    How many people know that Vernon ? All those now thinking of digging a hole and jumping in it , will probably not now do so , thinking it is not there. So we are stuck with a large population of scared people afraid of making decisions affecting their welfare. Cheers JS

    This one on here before.
    Think of a number .
    Double it
    Add whatever number I give you , say for example add 12
    Half it.
    Take away the number you first thought of
    Then tell the person the answer is 6

    Whatever number you give the victim to add, the answer is always going to be half of that number. If you had asked him to add 5 then the answer would have been 2 and a half .If had been 60 then the answer would have been 30 and so forth. JS
