You've got to try this... kind of intriguing, any way to explain this? <br /><br />1. Key in the first 3 digit of your phone number into the calculator. <br />2. Multiply by 80. <br />3. Add 1. <br />4. Multiply by 250. <br />5. Plus last 4 digit of your phone number. <br />6. Plus last 4 digit of your phone number again. <br />7. Minus 250. <br />8. Divide by 2 at last. <br /><br />Is this your handy phone number???

Re: phone math

:confused: This is geeky, but this is why it works. I knew my degree would finally come in handy.<br /><br />Assume x=first three digits of your number <br /> y=last four digits of your number<br /> then your number (z) is x*10000+y<br /> for example: 123-4567 = 123x10000 + 4567=1234567<br /><br />The formula they have you do can be defined as:<br /> ((80x + 1)250 + 2y - 250)/2 = z<br />MULTIPLY BY 2 YOU GET:<br /> (80x+1)250 + 2y - 250 = 2Z<br />SOLVE THE FIRST PART YOU GET:<br />20000x+250+2y-250 = 2Z<br />CANCEL OUT THE 250 YOU GET:<br />20000x+2Y=2Z<br />DIVED OUT THE 2 YOU GET:<br />10000X+Y=Z<br /><br />PRESTO!!!! This is what we defined above!!!!

Who actually has the time to figure these things out?<br /><br />Does he/she get paid for this?<br /><br />Kenny
