Thread: Math Trick

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 of Iraq.

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?

No, I don't recognize the number at all.

hehe... ...mine showed up as 7,790,022.000 which is recognisable....

Now, figure out which tel nr is that among several of mine?


Just had my dinner in the city and returning home to this fun math surprise deserves a Saucy Cappuccino Chocolate Mousse dessert...instead, ummm

Well you must have done it wrong.

Yogi, The dessert sounds yummy!! When I did this and got the final answer, I just sat there looking at it thinking why do I recognize this number? Then I finally realized it was my phone number. Ha Ha! Duh! I thought the forum just needed a little something different to lighten the mood up. Glad you enjoyed. Barbara

Yes...anything to lighten up the spirits of members and to chill sores with ice-breakers....are certainly a welcome treat!!!

When today is over, you should also notice the new layout of the Forum...I hope it appeals to you too.
