I got this in a forward, I thought it was cool!!!

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

So cool! I guess it's just a simple math trick but it's neat to me.

:cool:
Prolly neither one ...
Bet you were forgetting to use = (equals) Key after EACH step to
display each intermediate answer before entering the next step.

At least three tries for me! :o

My calculator canīt do multiple tasks, or maybe i havenīt got how to do it yet (we just changed it for a more complex one :P)

but it also took me a few times as Phred said........LOL........(more like five LOL)

it only works if you have a 7 digit number I think

here, I've got a simple one but trust me - it's the same principle

1. grab a calculator (or even do it in your head)
2. key in they number
3. add 1
4. substract 1

see what I mean? :D

you have your number since the beginning anyway.
would be cool if you start with your phone number and end up with your friend's phone number or something like that :p
