2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (Not the area code)

8. Subtract 250

9. Divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer?

Here's an example:

Let's say your phone number is 594-6284.

Multiply by 80
594 x 80 = 47,520

Add 1
47,250 + 1 = 47,251

Multiply by 250
47,251 x 250 = 11,880,250

Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
11,880,250 + 6284 = 11,886,534

Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
11,886,534 + 6284 = 11,892,818

Subtract 250
11,892,568 - 250 = 11,892,568

Divide number by 2
11,892,568 / 2 = 5,946,284

That's the phone number we started with!
