UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM

Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your head)

1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the Area code)
2. Multiply by 80
3. Add 1
4. Multiply by 250
5. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
7. Subtract 250
8. Divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer ??

wow!!!

i didnt do it but judging by the steps involved im assuming it gives you the last 4 digits of your phone number? it asks you to add the last 4 digits twice, and then divide by 2 (bring you back to the last 4 digits) so im assuming the rest of the stuff cancels itself out?

let me see if i am right..

ok, interesting. it gives you the full number! so i guess in a way you are multiplying your first number by 10000 and adding your last 4.

it's not that crazy hehehe but kind of cool anyway

Hey it didn't work for me let me do it again!

Pretty awesome!

any number you take and multiply by 80, add 1, multiply by 250, subtract 250 will be 20000x that number (or 10000x that number once you divide by 2 at the end)

then you have to add in your last 4 digits twice because of the dividing by 2 part.

i'd be more impressed if they could give me my last 4 digits or first 3 without me plugging it in

WOW!!!
