                                          Thanks to Bridgette from a previous class for the following math puzzle: 
                                               
                                             
                                             Try this formula and you might just discover math can be interesting. 
                                             Ignore your area code & using only your 7 digit phone
                                             number: 
                                             
                                             - Key-in the first 3 digits of your phone number into the calculator
                                             
                                             
 - Multiply by 80 
                                             
 - Then plus 1 
                                             
 - Multiply by 250 
                                             
 - Plus last four digit of phone number 
                                             
 - Plus last four digit of phone number again 
                                             
 - Minus 250 
                                             
 - Divide by 2 at last
  
                                             Is the answer is your phone number?
