    **** calculators, pcs and macs, copy and paste this into Google-
    (((((abc*80)+1)*250)+defg)+defg)-250)/2

    but replace a with1st digit,
    b with 2nd digit
    etc etc

    I've a better version of that trick

    Key in your phone number to a calculator.

    Add 1 to it.

    Subtract 1 from it.

    :eek::eek::eek:WOW :eek: How does that work ??:confused::confused::confused::confused:

    you're on a computer, right?

    Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Calculator

    Even quicker on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Press Windows Key -> Type Cal -> Press Enter

    So basically, this calculated my 7 digit phone number! And all I inputted was the first 3 digits of my phone number, followed by the last 4 digits! :eek:

    I found a faster way though:
    1. Grab a calculator
    2. Type your mobile number into it

    All you're doing is multiplying your first 3 digits by 10,000 and adding the last 4 which gives you the number only it's fiddled with be more drawn out and complicated.

    Maths iz awesems.
