Very kewl Math trick

[chadtm80]

Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you.

1. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your head)
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

LOOK AT YOUR ANSWER!!!!!!!! WEIRD

If your using a scientific calculator make sure you hit equal (enter) after each line or else it will just do it in the mathmaticly correct order.

I always have my calculator here at my desk.

Weird and great, as well. Thanks Chad.

Weird. I got the first 3 digits of the phone number in the answer.

[stormraiser]

NE weatherguy.. Try again.. Should come up with your exact phone number

6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.

When you say this do you mean add the last four TOGETHER?

Example: 555 - 1234 1 + 2 + 3 + 4

Or, do you mean to add the number the last four make?

Example: 555 - 1234 # + 1234

[chadtm80]

no do + 1234 + 1234

as in 1,234

If the last 4 digits start with 0. Omit the zero

[ColdFront77]

I see the answer to the trick has been revealed.

The "0" in the first digit on a scientific calculator isn't taken into account.
