Try this trick out on a friend! Tell your friend to place a dime in one hand and a penny in the other hand. Explain that you can
determine which hand is holding the penny. Here’s how to do it: a. Ask the friend to multiply the value of the coin in his or her RIGHT hand by 4, 6, or 8 and then to multiply the value of the coin in his or her LEFT hand by 3, 5, or 7. 2. b. Now ask the friend to add the two results together and tell you the total. c. If the total is EVEN, the penny is in the RIGHT hand. If the total is ODD, the penny is in the left hand.
