    Default Cool Math Trick


    1. Grab a calculator
    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?

    If you do your algebra, all you're really doing is multiplying the 1st 3 digits by 10000 and adding the last 4 digits, which will result in you phone number being displayed. The rest is smoke and mirrors, but that's what makes it interesting
