Here is a math's 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 home phone number (NOT the area code)
3. Multiply by 8
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last 3 digits of your phone number
7. Add the last 3 digits of your phone number again.
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer!!


(It works for a 6-digit telephone no.)

It worked for me (with one missing number). Amazing, isn't it?

    HS When you analyze the mathematical steps, it is quite simple. The steps multiply the first 3 digits by 1000 and the just add the last three digits ;-)
