This is fun - try it! 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 Do you recognize the answer?

It is a very interesting Math trick. It worked with all my cell numbers, 7-digit, of course! I wonder how you came up with it, if you are the originator! lol Thanks for sharing.

I did this and yes, it did turn out to be my phone number exactly. That is strange, but pretty cool. I will be sharing this one with my kids. They may think it is kinda neat. Thanks for sharing and by the way, did you know that 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 lol Just thought I would share my own little math fact.. Have a great day!

Nope, it doesn't work for me.....because its missing a number...I think this trick only works with phone numbers that are 7-digit in length and not those that are longer or shorter.. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing

Yes, the trick works for only numbers with 7 digits. Maybe you try a friends number. Thanks for your response.
