Math Trick

[Breeze]

I'm not sure if this will work for the UK numbers, but it works for the numbers here in the states :D

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?

[wdwgrandma]

Ok... How did you do that?????

[foreverducky]

It didn't work for me...i'm gong to try again.

[foreverducky]

ahh, I goofed the first time...so cool, but so weird....now who had time on their hands to figure that one out?

[JuniorMickey]

That is very cool

[Breeze]

I got it in an e-mail from one of my friends and I thought it was pretty nifty too :D

[Leolioness4200]

Very cool....brought a smile to my face...thanks :D

[mumof2]

no - it didn't work for my number :( what does it do - give you your telephone number?

[lisaw]

I'll give it a go later as once I started keying in my number I forgot the last 4 digits :rolleyes: :lol:

if you use a random 7 digit number it'll work for you UKers (you can use Disney dining 939-3463)

Most [if not all ?] of the UK numbers are 6 digits, so the result is still the same, but with a "0" in between each pair if 3 digits....if that makes sense !:blush:

[lovinmom]

cool- I love little tricks like that.:)

[Eeyores smile]

It sort of worked for me- added an extra digit at the beginning.

Thanks you two - I tried again with the '0' after the 1st 3 digits and it worked :thumbs:

fun :D

Not all UK numbers are 6 digits, any London number has a 4 number area code ie 0207 then a 7 digit number ie 476 ****

[d_dreamer]

I've tried it with 6 and 8

[pinktink]

To work right it has to be a 7 digit number and since you live in the US I would think you have a 7 digit phone number. :hehe:

[d_dreamer]

no, it was a 7 diigit number
