Follow the sequence of tsteps listed below, if you have the patience, and a calculator
#0. Think of a positive integer (the smaller, the better for you)
#1. Add 30 to it
#2. Multiply this by 7
#3. Write this number in the form 10X + Y, where [itex]0 \leq Y \leq 9 [/itex] (eg : N = 345 => X = 34, Y = 5)
#4. Find A = |X - 2Y|
#5. If A > 9 then write A = 10X + Y and repeat #4, else go to #6.
#6. If A is any of 0,1,2,3,4 then find B = A+10, else if A is one of 5,6,7,8,9 then B=A+3
#7. Find the B'th letter of the alphabet (1=>A, 2=>B, 3=>C, ...)
#8. Think of a country beginning with this letter, in the Eastern Hemisphere (Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania/Australia)
#9. Take the last letter in this country's name
#10. If possible, pick the smallest positive number whose spelling begins with this letter (T=>2, F=>4, S=>6), else pick the number corresponding to the position of this letter in the alphabet (a=>1, B=>2, C=>3, D=>4, G=>7, etc.)
#11. Add 4 to this number.
#12. Multiply this by any whole number less than 10.
#13. Write this number, D as 10X + Y, just like before
#14. Find E = |3X - Y|, and as before, repeat until E < 10
#15. Multiply E by anyinteger you choose.
Your final answer is... :: ZERO ? ::
Debunk the magic (if it worked ).
