Math(s) can be fun too

Day Eight of 'The Daily Post'.

Here's a little light relief for those of you struggling with your children's maths homework (you know who you are).

1) First find a calculator
2) Key in the first 3 digits of your phone number (forget the area code)

Ah, it's based on a US phone number, so for those of you reading this in the UK, or - who knows? - some far-flung exotic location, find a seven digit number, and for convenience, separate it into a group of 3 and 4 digits (if your birthday was May 13th 1965, you could use 135 1965 for example).

3) Multipy 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 by 2.

Ta daa!
