UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM

Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you.

Grab a calculator. (you 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...)
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 ??

I had to look this one up

((250(80x+1) + 2y)-250)/2
where x the first 3 digits and y the last 4

In Calculus 2 I had a professor named Muhammad Hussein. :shifty:

Super nice guy and he knew his stuff, but that guy had such a strong accent that I spent more time just trying to understand him than trying to understand the material.
