OT: Unbelievable Math Problem

[Jamie]

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 (NOT the
area code.)

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 - Do you recognize the answer

[Relayer]

It works with any set of numbers. 111-1111

You don't believe the commutative, associative or distributive laws of math?
( ( (nnn * 80) +1 ) 250 + mmmm + mmmm - 250 ) / 2
( nnn * 80 * 250 + 250 + mmmm * 2 - 250 ) /2
( nnn * 80 * 125 + mmmm )
nnn *10000 + mmmm
nnn0000 + mmmm
nnnmmmm

Math is amazing. Once you know what the magician knows, it isn't magic any
more.
