Math test that can determine which film is your favourite film ever!!

[Lion]

This math test can predict your all-time most-watched film. (it works)

Mine was Star Wars (it's TRUE!!!)

Try it without looking at the answers.

It's easy and really works:

Pick a number from 1 - 10.

Subtract 1.

Multiply by 3.

Add 3.

Multiply that by 3.

Add the digits together.

Use that number to find your all time favorite movie in the list below.

Your number is:









1. Gone With the Wind.

2. Aliens.

3. Dances with Wolves.

4. Star Wars.

5. Forrest Gump.

6. Saving Private Ryan.

7. Jaws.

8. Doctor Zhivago.

9. The Joy of Anal Sex with Male Goats & Leather Clad Gay Boys.

10. Mary Poppins.

I got 6.  Not my favorite movie ever, but definitely up there.  Pretty cool.

[Covarr]

No Beauty and the Beast, this can't possibly be right.

[jeffdamann]

LMAO I started with 7 as my number and got this answer.....

9. The Joy of Anal Sex with Male Goats & Leather Clad Gay Boys.  Can't say I remember conciously seeing that one, but who knows...

[ScottMcTony]

Well it was pretty close, and I guess it did the best it could've done without David Does Uganda: An Epic Quest of Eating da Poo Poo on the list.

[DarkFang]

I got number 2 Aliens. I've never even seen that movie.

[Hellbringer616]

I picked 7 as well. Sorry, i'd have to say this test is false

[ScottMcTony]

Btw giving 10 possible results after telling us to pick a number from 1-9 sort of ruins any chance of brief gullibility someone may have had sorry.

[Kudistos Megistos]

Oh f*** you for asking that in a FF7 forum

Also, that isn't my favourite film; the stuff I fap to is as f***ed up as goat sex, but in a very different way

which number did you pick to end up with private ryan?

[nikfrozty]

I got 9 and I assure you I don't even know that movie. Guess the test isn't for me.

[Kudistos Megistos]

Protip: everyone gets 9. The "math test" is an algorithm that always gives you a multiple of 9, and multiples of 9 below 121 always add up to 9.

Look closely:

Taking away 1, multiplying by 3 and then adding three is the same as multiplying by 3; the 3 that gets added at the end makes up for the 1 that gets subtracted at the start and multiplied by 3. Multiplying the result of this by 3 is the same as multiplying by 9. It would actually be less obvious if the "subtract 1" step were left out, since one would still always end up with two digits that added up to 9 without the two digits making the number that is 9 x whatever you started with). Unless one picked 10. Then it would fuck everything up.

You killed it.

Hmm now I've just messed up my mind thinking about just what you said.
