Jimmy the blue Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Start by getting a calculator. (you probably won't be able to do this one in your head) 1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the Area code) eg. 827,545,525,390 2. Multiply by 80 3. Add 1 4 . Multiply by 250 5. Add to this the last 4 digits of your phone number 6. Add to this the last 4 digits of your phone number again. 7. Subtract 250 8. Divide number by 2 Do you recognize the answer??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Mike took his shoes and socks off and still got it wrong Got the abacus out of the attic and it still doesn't work for me. Probably making the same mistake time and again (though I have two different answers). wouldn't be a surprise....I am a bit numerically dyslexic at times .
