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've spoiled the mystery. Sheesh. My 4 semesters of calculus could have told me that, this is like the gypsy, the fortune teller, the seer. Spoilsport. :)

I've simplified the equation even further:
1) Get a calculator.
2) Type in your phone number.
Look familiar?
