Fun Formulas! (or How to Wipe Out Alzheimers)

I'm been reading and hearing more lately about how to wipe out Alzheimers... it's a huge concern and especially for women as we get older.... hey, My Brain Matters!!

OK so here's some fun little puzzles for you to do...... pretty amazing these work.. even with a calculator I'm not smart enough to figure out why... but at least they made me think!

Phone Number Formula

1) PUNCH THE 1st THREE DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER INTO YOUR CALCULATOR

        (without the area code )

2) MULTIPLY BY 80

3) ADD 1

4) MULTIPLY BY 250

5) ADD THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER

6) ADD THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER AGAIN

7) SUBTRACT 250

8) DIVIDE BY 2

 

RECOGNIZE THE NUMBER?

 

 

Fun Family Formula

1. Write down the # of brothers you have

2. Multiply by 2

3. Add 3

4. Multiply by 5

5. Add the # of sisters you have

6. Multiply by 10

7. Add the # of living grandparents

8. Subtract 150

This will give you a 3 digit number:

1st digit = # of brothers

2nd digit = # of sisters

3rd digit = # of living grandparents
