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 by 2
10. Shit bricks

15 more years! 15 more years!

"This does work. If you use a varialbe, x, for the first 3 digits and a variable, y, for the last four digits, you can write an expression and simplify it:

80x

80x+1

250(80x+1)

250(80x+1)+2y

250(80x+1)+2y-250

[250(80x+1)+2y-250]/2

Factor 2 out of the numerator:
2[125(80x+1)+y-125]/2

Cancel out 2:
125(80x+1)+y-125

Distribute:
10000x+125+y-125

Simplify:
10000x+y

When you multiply the first 3 digits by 10000 you will have xxx0000 and then you add the last four digits to end up with xxxyyyy, your telephone number! Therefore it should work no matter what the phone number."

hax

or rather, a lengthy version of multiply the first three by 10000 and add the last 4 digits

I'm on to your math hax, now if you got my number without me having to input it...

Why 10? It seems unnecessary for a country under a certain amount of people, say a billion.

Canada had started using the 3 digit area code as part of the phone number. Even for local calling, you have to put it in. Guess we ran out of 7 digit numbers.

We use area codes as well... you just use the last 7 digits for this exercise.

Take yer age. Then add the individual digits together. Minus that number from your age. Then add the digits of the remaining number.

9

Example:

Age = 21

2 + 1 = 3

21 - 3 = 18

1 + 8 = 9

OMFG!!

didn't work for me, but then the 1st number of the last 4 is a 0. calculator doesn't count the 0 when making computations.
