it works all the time, its a math trick, if it didn't you screwed up the math :(
Pretty cool...worked for me.
Peace bd
What if you dont have a 7 digit phone#?
It worked for me too.

how does that work?
I want full explanation on my desk(top) by tommorrow at 8am. No extensions. :shifty:

If you have an 8 digit number, multiply by 800.
Hey thats neat. It works. :D
its not working, i'm probably something though. i just noticed it say WTF in the title
Cool trick to help one remember ones phone number.... perhaps it should be put on the "tips" thread :unsure: :helpsmili

Example 123456
123*8 = 984
984 + 1 = 985
985*250 = 246250
246250 + 456 = 246706
246706 = 345 = 247162
247162 - 250 = 246912
246912\2 = 123456
Do they now? I must work for teh government then cause I have 7 digits, minus the area code of course.Quote:

OK. It can be proved by simplification.Quote:

Step 5 is also cancelled because you've gotten rid of the divisor of two at the end so you must not add the last three digits a second time.
This means that step seven is gone, step 5 is gone and you're multiplying by 4 in the first instance.
We now have
1 Multiply first 3 digits by 4
2 Add 1
3 Multiply by 250
4 Add last three digits
5 Subtract 250
Still works, right?
Steps 2 and 5 cancel themselves out since adding one before multiplying by 250 has the effect of adding 250 to the figure.
We now have
1 Multiply first 3 numbers by 4
2 Multiply by 250
3 Add last 3 digits
Since 4*250= 1000 we may as well simplify further and get rid of step 2 by making step one the first 3 numbers*1000
Now we're left with
1 Multiply the first 3 numbers by 1000
2 Add last 3 digits.
The above is moving the 3 digit number 3 decimal places to the left and slotting in the last 3 digits.
=> It works for everyone.
Note: It's the same principle for 7 digit numbers, it just cancels down to multiplying by 10000 rather than 1000 in it's simplest form.
gold star for showing your work, congratulations you screwed up the bell curve and will make every one else have lower grades.
I don't have a phone. :(
Don't be sad. It still works for you too. With zeros.Quote:
