Let's play a game and you will find it more exciting.
First, think of any number. Got it? Great, that's your secret number now. Next, subtract 1 from it. What you've just done is taken a little confidence away from your number, making it slightly smaller. But don't worry—it's about to get exciting. Now, multiply the result by 3. Suddenly, your number is growing dramatically, feeling like it's ready to take on the world.
Now, we add 12 to the result. This is where things get fancy, giving your number a bit of extra flair, like adding a touch of sparkle. But before things get too wild, we divide the total by 3, bringing things back into balance. Your number is still bigger than it started, but not as crazy as it was a moment ago.
Next, add 5 to the result. This step is like the icing on the cake, giving your number a little boost. But here comes the final twist: subtract the original number you thought of from this result. After all that work, what are you left with? The answer is 8, no matter which number you started with! It's like a mathematical magic trick, always landing on the same answer, showing that 8 is destined to be the star of this show.
