OT: For Fun

Yes, this was posted before, and exaplained as well. It's not nearly as amazing as it seems when you break it all down.

Basically you are multiplying the first three digits of your phone number by 10,000 (moves it four decimal places to the left) and then adding the Last four digits of your phone number to that.

Miraculous!

All the other stuff is just irrelevant mathematical permutations that cancel each other out to make it seem more complicated then it really is.

ROFL!

I bet you were the kid who told the younger kids there was no such thing as Santa Clause. So who cares how it's done. It's still a neat trick.

Believe me, Atrocities, most of his Messages make no sense to me. I think it's all that cheese he loves so much. But that is a cute trick with the calculator. I'll have to print this out so I can show my family how to do it.
