UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM


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

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
(the 3 digits that follows the code number, i.e. don't include
neither 010 nor 012)

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. Scroll down for why it happens

 

It is not amazing. It is basic math.

 Divide your telephone to x (1st 3 digit) and y (last 4 digits)

 1st Step : 80 * x

 2nd step  add 1 =  (80x +1)

 3rd step multiply by 250 = 80x*250 +250 = 20000x +250

 4th step = add 4 digits twice = y+y =2y. The equation is now 20000x+250+2y

 5th step = subtract 250. The equation is now 20000x+250+2y-250= 20000x+2y

 6th Step = Divide by 2. The equation is 10000x+y

 This will leave the x beyond the 1000 place and y as it is.
