 Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country.

 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 ??

T.

The number I get as a result is missing a digit! Probably because we have different phone numbers here in my country or maybe it got lost somewhere in between teh Northern and Southern hemisphere! lol
Anyway, Maths is a mystery to me...
