1. grab a calculator(you won't be able to do this in your head)
2. key in the first three digits of your phone number(NOT the are code)
3. multiply by 80
4. add 1
5. multiply by 250
6. add the last four numbers of your phone number
7. add the last four numbers of your phone number again
8.subtract 250
9. divide by 2. Do you recognize the answer?

Oddly enough I got two completely different figures on a standalone calculator and my brothers ipod. No idea why, tried it several times with different numbers. Lol

Sent via messenger pigeon. I talk, he types.

Worked for me. One thing to specify is to hit "=" after each step. Otherwise, the calculator might be slave to the laws of mathematics and do "PEMDAS" in order.
