InfiniteNow Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I know this has a logical explanation, I just don't know what it is. Any explanations for those without a degree in mathematics? (sorry guys & gals, I'm guessing this only works in the States) 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 NUMBER BY 2. DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE ANSWER ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snark1100 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 let's call the first 3 digits X, and the last 4 digits Y -1. multiply the first 3 digits by 80: 80*X2. add 1 80*X + 13. multiply by 250 250*(80*X+1) = 20,000 * X +2504. add the last 4 digits 20,000 * X + 250 + Y5. add the last 4 digits again 20,000 * X + 250 + Y + Y = 20,000 * X + 250 + 2*Y6. subtract 250 20,000 * X + 2*Y7. divide by 2 10,000 * X + Ywhich is your phone number, the first 3 digits slid over 4 places to make roomfor the last 4 digits.

Pyrotex Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Not only a logical explanation, but a simple one. Thanks.Hunh??? What's going on???? ;) I tried this four times with my office phone number, and it didn't work. I called the number I kept getting, and somebody answered and said they were the police department. They said they were putting out an APB on YOU for spreading really bad "pocket rocket" jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
