1) Punch the first 3 digits of you home phone number into the
calculator (without the area code)
2) Multiply by 80
3) Add 1
4) Multiply by 250
5) add the last four digits of your home phone number (example: + 1234)
6) Add the last four digits of your home phone number again
7) Subtract 250
8) Divide by 2 ....
9) Recognize the number?

Here's a much easier way to do it:

1) Punch the first 3 digits of you home phone number into the calculator (without the area code)
2) Multiply by 10,000
3) add the last four digits of your home phone number (example: + 1234)
4) Recognize the number?

Nice Rob. That must be an example of the new math I keep hearing about.

That was cool, but it leaves me thinking someone has way too much time on their hands. ;D

Its not really that amazing. You entered your entire phone number into the calc. Its just moving numbers around and then giving you what you already typed in

Still, a neat little trick. Someone did have too much time on their hands :)
