to be nine, to which is to be added one, making ten . and which last, being tripled give3 th irty . T h e n :

1st case. Tho half of the trip le is 15 which tripled, makes 45

2nd case The half of th a t triple, 1 being added to make an even number, is 23and th a t tripled m akes C9

3rd case. The half of the last triple,1 being added, is 35

4th case. The half of the last half, 1being again added, is 18

H ere we see, th a t in the second and th ird case, one had to be added and, looking a t the table, we find th a t the only corresponding word having an i in its second and th ird syllables is Ob-tin-git, which represents the figures one and nine. Then, as one had to be added in the fourth case, we know by the rule, th a t the figure in the second column, 9, is the one required. Observe, th a t if no addition be required at any of the four stages, the num ber thought of will be fifteen ; and if one addition only be required a t the fourth stage, the num ber will be seven.

26 THE MAGIC OF NUMBERS J OR,Odd Magic Squares.

QQTJARES ol th is kind are formedO thus. Imagine an exterior line of squares above the magic square you wish to form, and another exterior line on the right hand of it. These two imaginary lines are shown in the figure.

Then attend to the two following ru le s :1st. In placing the num bers in the

squares we m ust go in the ascending oblique direction from left to r ig h t ; any num ber which, by pursuing this direction, would fall into the exterior line, m ust be carried along th a t line of squares, w hether vertical or horizontal, to the last square. Thus, 1 having been placed in tho centre

of the top line, (see the first table,2 woul'd fall into the exterior square above the fourth vertical line ; it m ust be therefore carried down to the lowest square of th a t line ; then, ascending obliquely, 3 falls in the square, but four falls out of it, to the end of a horizantal line, and it m ust be carried along th a t line to the extreme left, and there placed. Resuming our oblique ascension to the right, we jjlace 5, where the reader sees it, and would place G in tho middle of the top band, bu t finding i t occupied b y l , w elookfo rthed irec tion to the

2d Rule, which prescribes th a t, when in ascending obliquely we come to a square already occupied, we m ust place the number, which according to the first rule should go into th a t occupied square, directly under the last num ber placed. Thus, in ascending w ith 4, 5, G, the G

m ust be placed directly under the 5, because the square next to 5 in oblique direction is engaged.

Magic squares of th is class, however large in the num ber of com partm ents, can be easily filled up by attending to these two rules.

The Arithmetical Boomerang.

TH E boomerang is an instrum ent of

peculiar form, used by the natives of New South W ales, for the purpose of

killing wild fowl and small animals. If projected forwards, it at first proceeds in a straight line, bu t afterwards rises in the air, and after performing sundry peculiar gyrations, re tu rns in the direction of the place whence it was thrown.

The term is applied to those arithm e

tical processes by which you can divine a num ber thought of by another. You throw forwards the num ber by m eans of addition and m ultiplication, and then, by m eans of subtraction and division, you bring it bacfc to the original starting point m aking it proceed in a track so circuitous as to evade the superficial notice of the tyro.

COMIC AND CURIOUS PROBLEMS IN ARITHMETIC. 27

To find a number thought of.F irs t M ethod.

fjU IIS is an arithm etical trick which, to JL those who are unacquainted w ith it, seems very su rp ris ing ; but, when explained it is very si-mple. F or instance, ask a person to th in k of any num ber under10. W hen he says he has done so, desire him to treble th a t num ber. Then ask him w hether the sum of tho num ber lie has thought of (now m ultiplied by 3) be odd or even; if odd, tell him to add 1 to make the sum.even. H e is next to halve the sum, and then treble th a t half. Again ask w hether the amount be odd or even If odd, add 1, (as before) to make it even and then halve it. Now ask how many nines are contained in the remainder. The secret is, to bear in m ind w hether the first sum be odd or even ; if odd, re ta in 1 in the memory ; if odd a second tim e, re tain 2 more (making in all 0 to be retained in the m em ory ;) to which add 4 for every nine contained in the rem ainder.

For example, No. 7 is odd the first and also the second tim e ; and the rem ainder (17) contains one nine : so th a t 1, added to 2, m ake 3, and 3, added to 4, make 7, the num ber thought of. No. 1 is odd the first tim e (retain 1), and even the second (of which no notice is taken), bu t tho re m ainder is not equal to nine. No. 2 is even the first and odd the second tim e (retain 2), but the rem ainder contains no nine. No. 3 is odd the first and tho second tim e, still there is no nine in the re mainder. No. 4 is even both tim es, and contains one nine. No. 5 is odd the first time and the rem ainder contains one nine. No. C is odd the second tim e, and contains one nine in the rem ainder. No. 8 is even both tim es, and the rem ainder contains two nines. No notice need be taken of any overplus of a rem ainder, after being divided by nine.

The Astonished Farmer.

A and B took each 30 pigs to m ark e t; A sold his a t three for a pound, 15 a t two for a pound, and together they received 25 pounds. A afterwards took00 alone, which ho sold as before, a t five for two pounds, and received but24 pounds ; w hat became of the other pound ?

This is rather a catch question, tho insinuation th a t the first lo t were sold a t the rate of five for two pounds being only true in part. They commence selling a t th a t rate, but, a fter making ten sales, As pigs are exhausted, and they have received 20 pounds; B still has ten, which he sells a t two for a pound, and of course receives five pounds; whereas had he sold them a t the ra te of five for two pounds, he would have received bu t four pounds. Hence the difficulty is easily settled.

HOW t o TELL A PERSONS AGE.

YOUNG ladies of a marriageable rfge do n o t like to te ll how old they are, h u t you can find ou t hy following

tho subjoined instructions. Lot tho person whoso age is to bo discovered do tho figuring. Suppose, for example, th a t her age is fifteen, and th a t she was born in August. L et her pu t down the number of tho m onth in which she was born, and toll her to proceed as follows :

Number of month 8M ultiply by 2 - - 10Add 5 - - - - 21M ultiply by GO - - 10-50Then add the ago (15) - 1065Subtract 3G5, leaving - 700 Add 115 . . . 815

She then announces the result 815, whereupon you inform her th a t her age is fifteen, and August, or tho eighth month, is the m onth of her birth, for the two figures to the righ t in th e resu lt will always indicate th e age, and tho rem aining figure or figures the m onth the birthday falls in. This rule never fails for all ages up to one hundred. In ages under ten a cypher will appeal in the result, b u t no account is taken of this.

T he M arket W om an s Puzzle.

A MARKET-WOMAN bought 120 apples a t two a halfpenny, and 120 more of another sort a t three for a halfpenny; b u t no t liking her bargain, she mixed them together, and sold them ou t again a t five for a penny, thinking she would get th e sanio su m ; b u t on counting up her money, she found, to her surprise, th a t she had lost twopence. How did this happen ?

On tho first view of the question there docs no t appear to be any lo ss; b u t if it bo supposed th a t in selling five apples for a penny she gave three of the la tte r sort, v iz : those a t three for a halfpenny, and two of the former, v iz : those a t two for a halfpenny, she would receive ju s t the same money as she bought them fo r; b u t th is will n o t be throughout the whole, for adm itting th a t she sells them as above, i t m ust be evident th a t the la tte r stock would be exhausted first, and consequently she m ust sell as many of the former as rem ained overplus a t five for a penny, which sho bought a t tho ra te of two for a halfpenny, or four for a penny, and would therefore lose. I t will be readily found th a t when she had sold all

two-fifths of tho produce; b u t prior to tho timo of dividing the corn the tenan t used 45 bushels. AVhcn tho general division was niado, i t was proposed to give the landlord 18 bushels' from the heap in lieu of his share of the 45 bushels which tho ten an t had used, and then to begin and divide tho rem ainder as though none had boon used. Would this method have boon correct P

No. Tho landlord would lose seven and one-fifth bushels by such an arrangement, as tho ren t would entitle him to two-fifths of the 18. Tho ten an t should give him 18 bushels from his own share a fter tho division is completed, otherwise tho landlord would only receivo two- sevenths of the first 03 bushels.
