Once I learned how to check
if a number is exactly divisible by three, I kept doing it in mind to every number I saw. Take a random 6-digit number '712647'. This is exactly divisible by three. If you don't know the trick, which is exceedingly simple, you add up the digits.
7 + 1 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 7 = 27: 2 + 7 = 9 which is a multiple of three, so 712647 is also divisible by three. I still do it when I'm given a phone number.

I do this
but only when I'm bored. I was told this at school many years ago.
