I just saw this in my email, thought it was pretty cool.

UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM

Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. 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 the last 4 digits of your phone number
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
7. Subtract 250
8. Divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer ??

I wish I was smart enough to figure out why things like that work…
