did you know that the numbers between 1 and 9 that are multiplied by 9 then added together equals 9

1x9=9
2x9=18 1+8=9
3x9=27 2+7=9
4x9=36 3+6=9
5x9=45 4+5=9
6x9=54 5+4=9
7x9=63 6+3=9
8x9=72 7+2=9
9x9=81 8+1=9

Actually whats more amazing then that is if you multiply any number by 9 and add the digits of that number together that number will be a multiple of 9. E.G. 9 * 1457= 13113 1+3+1+1+3=9

Works for the number 3 in the same way as well.

No it doesn't...

Multiply three by another number does not give an answer that adds to three.

3*2=6...

It gives a multiple of three... which is what's expected

Allow me to explain 3*2= 6 and 6 is a multiple of 3. As it says the digits of that number added together equal a number that is divisible by either 3 or 9 depending on which one you use so for example........

3*256123=768369

7+6+8+3+6+9=39

39 divided by 3 equals 13, a whole number. Therefore its a multiple of 3.

I dont think I can explain any better than that. The key here is that the answer of the digits added together add up to a multiple of 3 not neccesarly to 3.

In 2000, Helsinki University of Technology cooled a piece of Rhodium to a 10th of a billionth degree above absolute zero (-273°c) The second coldest spot in the universe is in Massachusetts IT where they did the same with some sodium gas.
Even in deep space, it doesn't get below -245°c. The coldest natural place in the universe is the Boomerang Nebula which is -271°c. The coldest place in our Solar System is the moon of Triton which is recorded as having a temperature of -235°c.

Eating all your meal in a restaurant (or someone's house) in Japan is considered very impolite. It basically implies that the host didn't give you a big enough serving and its very insulting. So no matter how hungry you are you have to leave some! :eek:

There's a guy in the sky somewhere, and he made you, and he can read your mind, and you can't see him, but he's there, watching you ****. If you grovel for forgiveness and admit that you're a sinful and corrupt human being he'll let you live forever after you die. If you don't believe in him he'll personally see to it that you burn forever and ever in excrutiating pain. Forever. Fact.

The writer Mark Twain was born within two weeks of Halley's comet closest pass to Earth in 1835. 1909 passed, Twain commented:

I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.

Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910 in Redding, Connecticut, one day after the comet's closest approach to Earth.
