    Any math whizzes here?

    1. Key into the calculator the first 3 digits of your phone number (not
    area code).
    2. Multiply by 80
    3. Add 1
    4. Multiply by 250
    5. Add last 4 digits of your phone number
    6. Add last 4 digits of your phone number again
    7. Subtract 250
    8. Lastly, divide by 2
    Is this your phone number???

                  It's not that difficult... When you multiply the first 3 digits by 80 and then by 250, you've basically got your XXX number to XXX0000 (because you'll divide by 2 later). You've also added 1 to the second result and multiplied that by 250, and then later subtracted 250, negating that. The adding your last 4 digits twice was negated by dividing by 2 at the end as well.

                      Stop answering "yes", of course it works, if it didn't work then your math sucks. The calculations are very simple, there's no way for it to not work.

                      Now someone higher me to code something, I've proven myself.

                        Does your nickname have anything to do with Fusebox programming methodology?

                            he didn't ask us to figure out how the equation works, he asked us if this was our # or not. really what have you proved besides not being able to read direction and follow them?

                                                Telephone numbers here in São Paulo have 8 digits, so this didn't work.....

                                                          Tell her you can figure out the rest
                                                          you need the last four too.

                                                          so she would have to give you the first three and the last four, if you cant work it out from there then you are just a retard.
