OK, here's another trick. Give me any 2 digit number and I'll divide it by 91.

You can divide ANY two digit number by 91. Will they all be evenly divided? No. Here is the number, 17

How is that a math trick? You just have to use a calculator.

Actually, it's a shortcut for dividing by 91. Take the numerator, and add the number in the 10s place to it. That's the first 2 digits. Then take the 1s digit minus 1, and that's the 3rd digit. Subtract the first digit from 9, fourth digit. Subtract the 2nd digit from 9, 5th digit. Subtract the 3rd digit from 9, 6th digit. But since you're so unimpressed, you can give me another magic square to do.

Might as well. Putting numbers into a calculator doesn't get anywhere.

Jeff bought $16.11 on 8 items of merchandise. X item costs $1.69, and Y item cost $1.99. How many X's did he buy?

Can you think of a way to solve this without trial and error?
