It's a simple formula:

(10x + 3 Gasoline) + (4y-6 Style)
-----------------------------------------
13z Nervousness

Equals: 59% Chance of getting that number, unless of course you can factor in more style and somehow divide out more nervouseness.

Here's why it works

1. Key into a calculator the first 3 digits of your phone
number

2. Multiply by 80 (When you multiply by 80 and then 250 and then divde by 2 later- same thing as multiplying first 3 digits times 10000)

3. Add 1 (Adding 1 then multiplying by 250 adds 250 to the result that is later subtracted below)

4. Multiply by 250

5. Add last 4 digits of your phone number

6. Add last 4 digits of your phone number again (when you divide by 2 in step 8, you undo the double entry phone number)

7. Subtract 250 (this was just to add some extra steps)

8. Lastly, divide by 2

Your Phone Number Should Appear
So when you cut out the extra fluff- it is the same as

1) multiply the first 3 digits by 10000

2) add last 4 digits

A kid would get a big kick out of this. A complicated way to just type your phone number into a calculator. Bravo to whoever took the time to figure this out.
