Default Unbelievable Math, try this

In case you have never seen this on email. Try this:

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 to this the last 4 digits of your phone number
6. Add to this the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
7. Subtract 250
8. Divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer ??

That is really cool. I showed DH and he's like "Oh it's just an algorithm, that's all".

he's right, but I never thought about it. Just grabbed the calculator and went to town. It is cool though, just figured I would share.

Vicki - I am guess I was just saying that part of the math problem was to input your phone number. So that makes it easy to make the answer be your phone number. Algebra.. but still fun because I love math.

ya, you are right. Gosh, I'm tired today. I did not even think about that when you posted before. Duh, and I was helping a friend 2 nights ago with Physics. That worries me now, just kidding.
