A friend sent me a math problem.  You'll probably need a calculator to figure 
this one out.  I wonder who came up with this one.  Have a nice day!

"Here is a math trick with which you can have some fun.
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/*"
