Subject: Your phone number will reveal your age
[snip] To save strain on my calculator, I'm going to use algebra:
[1] Take a look at your last digit of your cell phone number
I'll call this "D", for "digit".
[2] Use this figure and multiply by 2
2D
[3] Then add 5 .
2D + 5
[4] And then multiply by 50
100D + 250
[5] And then add the number 1763
100D + 2013
[6] The last step; with this number, subtract your birth year.
100D + 72
Now you see a number. The first digit is the last digit of your phone number, the next digits is your actual age!
Ding bust!
Surprising? This is a very interesting math problem.
