Try this freaky calculator trick!

[myke]

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?


... how did that happen?

So basically you do something and then undo it? Genuis!

The person that thought of that must have quite a lot of spare time.

[Roboevil]

Lol that's quite good.

[United.Road]

its just the start of my phone number and 4 random digits on the end? :S

[Firehorse]

it's not freaky at all. Your telephone number is 7 digits long and all you did was add some other numbers and then take them away again. I bet if you did it without adding your phone number the answer would be 0 :P

[Misawa]

Yeah that's pretty stupid.

You must keep getting something wrong. Don't use a mobile number, use a landline.

[Ekalb]

[N!ck]

You basically times your phone number by 2 and divide it by 2 again at the end. How awesome.

[360]

[Ekalb]

I think i know another one, if you type in 8, followed by two 0s and another 8 it looks like BOOB

[le harry]

Hmm so this must only work for 7 digit phone numbers like you Uk people :(
yes mine came out about 13 digits long.

[Hazza]

Mine is 6 digits long so mine was like


5463690 when its actually 546690
Not real ^^

[Metric.]

We did that in like grade 8,
and the class wasn't amazed.

[Firehorse]

do area codes outside london go 010 or just 01? if it's just 01 then that'l be why it doesn't work outside london or similar.. mabe why so many ppl are getting an extra 1 is because they're adding their area code.

[Teyauna.]

That's pretty cool. I wonder who comes up with this kinda stuff.
