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?

You could leave out a couple of steps and make it easier.

1. Key in the first 3 digits of your phone number.
2. Multiply by 10,000
3. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number.

The other steps are just there for camoflage.
