Mind Tricks
Have ever seen one of those mind tricks. Some are riddles, and some are just freaky math problems. Add more below!!
Guessing Your Phone Number:
1. In a calculator, type the first three digits of your phone number (Not your area code)
2. Now, multiply that by 80.
3. Add 1
4. Multiply by 250
5. Add the last four digits of your phone number
6. Add the last four digits of your phone number (Again)
7. Subtract 250
8. Divide by two
9. Impress yourself!
What am I:
The key is locked in a puzzle, hidden in a necklace, unlocked by a ring, activated by a rod, shrouded in a scale, and can only be seen by the eye. What am I?
(I don't know the answer, so have fun making one up 
Really Easy One:
What weighs more. A pound of feathers, or a pound of bricks?
What is this:
80 percent of Kindergartners solved it compared to 5 percent of Stanford graduates. The word has 7 letters, preceded by God, greater than God, more evil than the devil, and if you eat it, you will die.

They are both 1 pound, therefore they weigh the same amount.

The answer is 'Nothing'.

Same time. It all depends on terminal velocity, not Weight.

You got it 
It would normally be 9.81 but it could be something else depending on where you are.

As long as you are the same size and shape, you'd both hit the pool at the same time.

Actually, they would both hit the pool at the same time, regardless of who was heavier.

No, if you have a really fat guy, and a really skinny guy, no matter who's heavier, the fat guy would land first.
