Math Trick

[Canoe]

Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally, I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country.... (probably because he's 12 years old!)

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?

Nice! Figures it could have been a 12 yr old to come up with that one.
Us old farts are too set in our ways to change anything!

That was good. There's another one very similar to taht one but it does your age or your date of birth. Both are very cool. Now all the parents out there know why their 4th grader needs a calculater for school...LOL LOL
