UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM

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

Grab a calculator. 

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 ?

Heh, cool, except the answer's not quite right. You see, I get an extra number because our phone numbers have six digits - say, 0XX for the area code, and 123-456 for the actual number. My fourth number gets repeated. :)

Yes that would change it........as most area codes are three and rest of number seven......
I should have warned it was based on three digit area codes with seven digit number, even though you do not use an area code in configuration......

Cool, just missing one number, since our phone numbers have eight digits.
