Cool Math Trick

Here is a cool math trick that I found online:

– Grab a calculator (you won’t be able to do this one in your head)
– Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
– Multiply by 80
– Add 1
– Multiply by 250
– Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
– Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
– Subtract 250
– Divide number by 2

Recognize the answer?? If you followed the steps correctly, the final number should be VERY familiar to you.
