[Goldendragon7]

1) Punch the first 3 digits of you home phone number into the calculator (without the area code)
2) Multiply by 80
3) Add 1
4) Multiply by 250
5) add the last four digits of your home phone number (example: + 1234)
6) Add the last four digits of your home phone number again
7) Subtract 250
8) Divide by 2 ....

make X = first three digits
make Y = last four

Your phone number hould be 10000X + Y

so the fun goes:

[250(80X+1) +2Y-250]/2 = 10000X + Y artyon:

In a 1 hour period my wife has over 100 call saying that it was neat, weird, or not natural. It was a really effective bit for the radio.

I loved math and did very well in it until around Calculus - when it became abstract. Then I hit a brick wall, dropped it and took up manicuring. Almost dyed the hair blonde, too....
