Here's a good one.
Pick any number between 1-10
Multiply your number by 9.
Add the two digits that you get (ie. if you picked 2, then add 1 and 8 from the 18) to get a new number.
Subtract 5 from your new number.
Now, pick the letter in the alphabet that corresponds with the number (ie. A=1, Z=26).
Pick a country that's first letter starts with the letter you obtained from the previous step. (ie. A, then Australia)
Take the second letter of the country, and name a four legged animal that begins with that letter.

Did you get Elephant?

Not only did I not get elephant, I even managed to skip the entire middle part of the message. How awesome am I! 👍😉

That's not a four legged animal. And it is possible to beat the system, somewhat like you did. But the most common answer gets you to elephant.

Math trick!

Take a calculator and spell out boobs with it. Divide the number of seconds you are amused by this by your age. Spend that amount of time in minutes contemplating the mistakes you've made in life that have brought you to this point.

Another math trick!
Make an equation that equals 911. Post on your Facebook wall with an added message of never forgetting and add religious subtext along with calling into the question the patriotism of those who don't repost. Take the number of people who DO repost as the number of friends you should delete.

Pick any number.
Multiplay it by 2.
Add 56.
Divide it by 2.
Subtract the original number from it.
Your number is 28.
