OJR Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this. It is pretty amazing. 1. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your head--no, not even you math whizzes) 2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code) 3. Multiply by 80 4. Add 1 5. Multiply by 250 6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number 7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again 8. Subtract 250 9. Divide number by 2 Do you recognize the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtBowhunter Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Re: Math Trick! Not that hard to figure out, when you're using your phone number and all other factors are the same, you'll always come up with the only difference in the formula, which is your #.
