This is the maths test can predict your all time hero, and the person you most aspire to be like. Try it without looking at the answers.

Pick a number between 1 and 9
Then x3
Then +3
Then x3 again.
You will get a two digit number.
Add the two digits together to find the person you most aspire to be like.

1. James Joyce
2. Martin Luther King
3. Michael Collins
4. Albert Einstein
5. Bill Gates
6. Barack Obama
7. Oscar Wilde
8. Nelson Mandela
9. Jimmy Saville

Don't worry, your not a paedo!
It doesn't matter what number you pick as they all end up as 9.
