Math is nuts

UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM

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.

Grab a calculator. (you won’t be able to do this one in your Head)

1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the Area code…)
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

I love these kinds of things. This is better than spelling Boobs upside down. (via amyyy)

That is some crazy shit. ::chuckles like Beavis at bg5000::

This doesn’t work for my number. May be because uk phone numbers are different to US ones. Ha, take that maths!
