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 make no sense, I would venture you post to be spam.

If I just remember the first three digits of my phone number and that complex procedure - I'll never forgot my whole phone number again!

Believe me, Atrocities, most of his Messages make no sense to me. I think it's all that cheese he loves so much.

But that is a cute trick with the calculator. I'll have to print this out so I can show my family how to do it.
