Actually, I think there are elephants in Denmark. In the zoo in Copenhagen. They've certainly got lions there.

Leaving aside the fact that this would never actually work, because even if you hit that 1% (or 20%) chance, you're going to get asked to do it again and your odds of it working TWICE are vanishingly small. Not to mention three or more times.

You can say you memorized that spell in just one slot.

That will guarantee you don't get laid, which I thought was the point of this.

Actually Negative numbers are to my knowledge Single Digit numbers.
And would work just as well as multi-digit numbers.  As liong as your maths was up to scratch.

Hey, even imaginary and complex numbers would work!

...goes off to contemplate whether there's a good reason why Aleph-Null, Aleph-Prime, etc, would fail to fall out of the ((2n+8)/2)-n equation properly...  Can't see why it shouldn't, but infinities might just bend things a little, what with [squiggle]0*2 being considered equal to [squiggle]0 itself under trivial circumstances.

Try a group with non-comunicative multiplication (or abnormal inversion properties). That could mess with the (2*x)/2 sufficiently. Alternatively, try using a group in which addition isn't communicative (and try to avoid breaking your head in the process)

I still think pretending to talk to their dead family members is a better way to get in their pants.

A lot of it is just making vague or obvious statements and making them feel good.
