Subject: This is cool!
Message: UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM
Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you.
Personally, I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country.
1. Grab a calculator (you won't be able to do this one in your head)
2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
3. Multiply 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 number by 2
Do you recognize the answer?

Message: Thank goodness you warned me to have my calculator at hand, because my brain never would have calculated all this. Yes, I agree that the inventor was probably some young kid - the same ones who can fix your computer when you feel helpless, or go skiing by you at 60 miles an hour when you're barely trying to snowplow, or all the other things that kids just naturally adapt to just to make us feel older!
