Pick a # from 1 to 10.
Multiply by 9
Subtract 5
If the result is not 4, add the digits together.
If the result is not 4, add the digits together, and the result will be 4.
I got that from... Bob Dylan.
Watch the parking meters.

Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I- I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

....except that you add the digits together twice as noted in the instructions, so 1+3=4.

or maybe... that was me?
I'm sure Bobby D didn't come up with it. He was just using it as a way to introduce # 4 in his countdown, for the countdown theme in his radio show.
