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.

Geez. Y-O-Y do I get the feeling this is one of those "the lottery is for people who don't understand math" kinda things?

Now I gotta send it to all my lottery buddies before they send it to me. :)

All of a sudden, I'm thinking of Jenny and how I need to make her mine.

I tried to call her before, but I lost my nerve.

It is fun for the kiddies, but well known since I first saw it in 1967.

Do you recognize the answer?

Ummm, no. It looks like someone's phone #, but not mine.

Number tricks like this are just an entertaining way of using algebra.

Let x = the first 3 digits in your phone number.
Let y = th elast 4 digits in your phone number.

Then the steps can be written algebraically as:

[250(80x + 1)+ y + y - 250]/2

Simplified:

[20000x + 250 + 2y - 250]/2

Simplified further(the +250 and the -250 cancel each other out):

[20000x + 2y]/2

Simplified again:

10000x + y

As a previous poster stated, 10000x + y is the heart of the trick. The rest of the steps are added only to make it look mysterious.
