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

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!
