Fun with math...

Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you.

l. 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?

No. thanks for wasting 1 min of my life...

[[SS]Chief]

What...it was supposed to be your phone number...now get back to work. Some poor MIT grad that doesn't have a job I am sure developed that little test....

[[SS]Fight[r]]

IT worked! Still lame...

[[SS]Chief]

Yes but you waisted like 5 minutes of your life to figure that out...you come up with a better math problem...Mr.!

[[SS]Fight[r]]

Heres one for you, Chief.

Type the following in your calculator.

5318008

Now turn it upside down and read what it says.

Make sure there is not a fault in your calculations. With a tedious process such as this, one number you forget to carry can alter the entire resulting number.

yea u need a calculator becuase of the "order of operations" thingy... its 5th grade work...

You know, PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)... it satands for (Parenthsis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

What? u dont know PEMDAS... geez what did the teach you back then?

[[SS]Fight[r]]

You dont need the order of operations! Just follow the directions exactly how it is said. Otherwise you will come out with a different answer.
