I want to see if this works for everyone

Note this will only work with 7 digit phone numbers and you must press equals after each step. Wink

1. Type the first 3 numbers of your phone number in a calculator
2. Times that by 80
3. Add 1
4. Times by 250
5. Plus the last 4 digits of your number
6. Plus the last 4 digits of your number again
7. Subtract 250
8. Divide by 2

does the number look familiar? Shocked

You know, in Danish, a skok means an undefinable, but pretty large amount of something?

I tried it and that number definitely rings a bell!

A little extra humor for you (very little).

I either have an 11 digit phone number or a 6 digit (excluding area code) so how does that work then?

It doesn't. It only works if you have a 7 digit phone number, as in, live in the US or Canada.

Worked for me! Cheesy

I have a 7 digit, followed the instructions to the letter. Fail.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

My math teacher had us try this last year. I guess some people have no lives so they come up with stuff like this. Grin

Did you press equals(=) after each step?

I believe that would be included in 'followed the instructions to the letter'. Roll Eyes

Well, except maybe for SimV.

...all you're really doing is multiplying the first 3 digits by 10,000 and adding on the last 4. So unless you have just effectively defied the axioms of mathematics (in which case I would need every bit of detail and publish that baby) or your calculator is broken Grin
