The magic number 7

I've tried quite a few times with this so-called magic number 7 from EnglishClub.com, and the result was still the same. Please give it a try and work out the trick behind!
In this mail, I am going to read your mind, using my "psychic powers" and the number 7.

To help in this mystery, you will need a calculator.

But remember, my psychic powers are infallible. If this mystery doesn't work, it's because YOU didn't understand the instructions!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Think of any whole number less than 700.

Try to visualise your number in the space below.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Think of your number HERE (less than 700).


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now send the number to me psychically (by telepathy).

Use your calculator and divide your number by 7.

Look at the answer on the calculator.

Add up the first 6 figures that appear AFTER the decimal point. (If there aren't any, then the number you thought of was a multiple of 7. Think of a different number.)

Now I am going to use my "psychic powers" to tell you the
total you have just calculated.

Do you believe me?

Look at the number below.

The number you calculated was: 27 (double click on the blank next to the colons)

The trick must have something to do with the concept of mathematics. Just it is amazing to find out such a key to reach a conclusion and get a fixed answer, no matter what number you choose.

Try out number like 222, 223, 699, and 333. The result is 28, not 27! Ha...

Well, almost perfect this logic is! No doubt its mathematics. You dont have to have a headache thinkin about it. Thats science! Completely outta my area, though! Ha...

Tell me if you can think of a similar trip yourself, ok?

Phy, calculate the numbers u mentioned again; the result is 27, not 28. It is a perfect logic, I dare say.
