"Magic trick:
Ask a friend to hold an odd number of coins in one hand and an even number of coins in the other but not to let you see. You will be able to work out in which hand the odd number of coins is hidden.
Ask the friend to multiply the number of coins in their left hand by three and the number of coins in their right hand by four then add the two totals together.
If the sum of their totals is odd then the odd number of coins is in their left hand otherwise the odd number of coins is in their right hand.
Can you figure out how this works?
