Worst Analogies Written In A High School Essay

"Math Trick"

Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it might
stump you.

Personally I would like to know who came up with
this and why that person is not running the country.

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?
