Just for kicks.

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

Look familiar?

Yeah, but can you write out the equation and show why it works? :p :nerd

Assume your phone number is

x_6 x_5 x_4 - x_3 x_2 x_1 x_0

((x_6 * 10^2 + x_5 *10 + x_4) * 80 + 1) * 250 + 2 * (x_3 * 10^3 + x_2 *10^2 + x_1 *10 + x_0) - 250 ) / 2

= ( 20,000 (x_6 * 10^2 + x_5 *10 + x_4) + 250 + 2 * (x_3 * 10^3 + x_2 *10^2 + x_1 *10 + x_0) - 250) / 2

= ( 2 * 10,000 (x_6 * 10^2 + x_5 *10 + x_4) + 2 * (x_3 * 10^3 + x_2 *10^2 + x_1 * 10 + x_0 ) / 2
= 10,000 (x_6 * 10^2 + x_5 *10 + x_4) + (x_3 * 10^3 + x_2 *10^2 + x_1*10 + x_0)
= 10^4 (x_6 * 10^2 + x_5 *10 + x_4) + (x_3 * 10^3 + x_2 *10^2 + x_1*10 + x_0)
= (x_6 * 10^6 + x_5 *10^5 + x_4*10^4) + (x_3 * 10^3 + x_2 *10^2 + x_1*10 + x_0)
= x_6 * 10^6 + x_5 *10^5 + x_4*10^4 + x_3 * 10^3 + x_2 *10^2 + x_1*10 + x_0
, which is the base 10 representation of the phone number

x_6 x_5 x_4 - x_3 x_2 x_1 x_0

or basically that all that calculator shit translates to 10000 times the first 3 digits plus the last 4 digits....which is your phone number....
