[Kankson]

(Example: 813-555-6947)

1. Start with the first 3 digits
2. Square the number
3. Multiply by 1 Million
4. Square root the number
5. Add the next 3 digits
6. Multiply By 50
7. Add 1
8. Multiply by 400
9. Add the last 4 digits
10. Repeat step 9 once
11. Subtract 400
12. Devide by 2

Answer should be your phone number

Not a magic trick. All you're really doing is transforming the number and then reversing that.

Algebra is magic if you believe!

All that steps 2,3 and 4 do is multiply the first number by 1000, lol
also, if anyone wants an explanation to why this works, you're basically forming an equation and then cancelling out the pieces. simple explanation here. The version in that post is a bit simpler, but the same thought process can be applied here, I'm just too lazy to walk through all the steps w/ square roots and whatnot

If you put 555 in the middle of ye number it won't be real @Teah

not true tho. as per this only 555-0100 through 555-0199 are reserved for fictional use. It's entirely possible (likely, even) that 813-555-6947 is a real number registered to someone in Tampa, Florida

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy. But here's my number attached to a stupidly long and simple algebraic equation, so call me maybe.

Fixed it.
