Interesting Calculation - TRY IT!!

Friday, April 13, 2007 by Cheryl1952 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

  You will need a calculator to perform this, do not even attempt to do it in your head.
 
     
 1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the Area code. If your phone number is 212-555-1212 you key in 555

                                             
 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 ??

It come out competely wrong in my case. I suspect it's because my last number starts with 0.

One out of three, sometimes there are variables to consider.
