Maths Trick

you n me both hun tried it 50 times or more before i noticed ya do it twice

note to self read instructions more carefully

How oh how does someone discover that this works in the first place??????

Quite easily. It's basic maths, just lots of useless expansions adding steps.

Put it like this, it's doing. (where x is first 3 digits of phone number, y is last 3 digits)

x*1000+y

((x*8)*250+(y*2))/2 (this expansion multiples by 2000, so everything needs to be divided by 2 at the end obviously)

(((x*8)+1)*250+(y+y)-250)/2

yada yada. lol

Feel free to modify the constants, for example:

(((x*5)+1)*400+(y+y)-400)/2

or

(((x*16)+1)*250+(y+y+y+y)-250)/4

No matter what you do, it's just a complicated way of multiplying one number by 1000 and then adding another one onto it. lol

... but you still have to follow the instructions
