Thread: Math

1. Grab a calculator (unless you're really good)
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 the number by 2

RECOGNIZE THE ANSWER?

Cool!!

Good one!

(Just hope I never have to go thru all that math to phone myself tho, phew)

LadyEye..
Silly you.. why would you want to call yourself.. this method is only intended for when you want to give your phone number out to someone.. lol

I thought it was a type of Thai auto-dialer.....

(LOL seen this before...)

Whatever it is, it doesn't work for me.....I just get some number I don't know? I've done this 5 times now and I still get the same number which I don't recogonize? So either I'm broken or my calculator is....what am I suppose to get?

LOL.. Cindy darlin.. the calculator works.. it's just you don't recognize your own phne number..lol.

You're supposed to get your phone number.. try again.. if it still doesn't work, you might want to submit a support ticket..lol

Support ticket it is....no where near the number I started with....waaaaa...I want my number.....waaaaaaaaaa.

these things drive me crazy when they don't work for me

Cindy, please review the tutorial before submitting a support ticket, alternatively, please call your telephone service provider and request a number change .... lmao
oh .... review math101 for instructions on addition, subtracting and dividing, this could be where you are going wrong .... lol

Gosh, gee whezz Ms. Ladyeye.....I done did all that and I still don't get my number...... No support from support......no service from service dept......no math intelligence from teacher.......

I guess I'll just have to start back to AA again after this one....lol (not really a problem for me...but after this...it may be) lol

Thanks alot Bill......see what you've done to me now!!

Lol, need an abacus?

No area code, 7 digit phone only.

lol Cindy .... you must have this by now ... if at first you do not succeed, try and try again .... lol .... hurry ... you never know when you might need to call yourself .. lol ...

Bill: No...I didn't put the area code in, so I just did it again....and it still doesn't work......I think you guys are pulling my leg with this. This forumla probably doesn't do anything and now you have found a sucker that keeps trying....Is that it? lol

Man...I even tried my cell phone...nada, since my cell phone is my business phone and posted on my website, I'll show you this, because it is driving me nuts.

My number: 244-7723

2. I key in 244
3. 244 X 80 = 19520
4. 19520 + 1 = 19521
5. 19521 X 250 = 4880250
6. 4880250 + 7723 = 4887973
7. 4887973 + 7723 = 4895696
8. 4895696 - 250 = 4895446
9. 4895446 / 2 = 2447723 (What??? It worked??)

Damn.....wouldn't you know it...it now works...I have a good mind to just erase this post....but then it wouldn't be so funny. Man...I can't believe it worked now. This has been driving me nuts all day. Well...now I can get a good nights sleep. Yea.... I did it!!

lol Cindy ...... Bravo!!

Sometimes we really must see things in print before we believe ... lol

Priceless!
OK....everybody off to bed!

thats a good one!

Surely was Kate, our dear friend Cindy really broadened her math skills on this one, and she now knows her telephone number, how cool is that?
It remains to amaze me what things can be taught and learned right here in Vodaland ..... awesome!! Can you call yourself now Kate? lol .... Looking forward to you calling me a "Winner" .... get that crystal ball going .... lol

the people who work these things out have entirely too much time on their hands - but then i got out the calculator and did it - so do i not have enough to do?
ann

What i'd like to know is how does someone have enough time on their hands to work things like this out?? lol

Very good though!!
