Nice trick, but really, there has to be a logical solution!!!

OK... here goes...
x=the first three digits
y=the last four digits
Quote:
|
Take the first three digits of your telephone number
|
x 80x 80x+1
Quote:
|
Now multiply your answer by 250
|
250(80x+1) = 20,000x+250
Quote:
|
Next add the last four digits of your telephone number to your answer.
|
20,000x+250+y
Quote:
|
Add the last four digits one more time.
|
20,000x+250+y+y = 20,000x+250+2y 20,000x+250+2y-250 = 20,000x+2y (20,0000x +2y)/2 = 10,000x+y
hence, (any 3 digit number * 10,000) + (any four digit number) = the original X and Y in order (forming the telephone number)

NO! You are not dumb.European telephone #'s are different.Here we have a 3 digit prefix and 4 digit number.That is why the trick works.
