I got a shiny new cell phone yesterday! It’s a Samsung A670. Pics:

My number is pretty interesting, although PhoneSpell doesn’t have any mnemonics for it.
Now see if you can guess the number. Here are some clues:
- It is in the form: (408) xyx-zxjk, where each unique letter represents a unique digit in the number.
- z minus one is prime. (mod 10)
- x is equal to y raised to the number of times x occurs in the phone number. (mod 10)
- z is one more than y. (mod 10)
- j is one more than x. (mod 10)
- k is one more than j. (mod 10)
- The cube root of x is even. (mod 10)
Got it? Leave a comment with the answer and send me a text message, too. :-)
ive been working on this for like 20 min. and still can’t find one answer because 2 is the only cube root that is even (that means x is 8). And x is equal to y raised to the number of times x occurs in the phone number, therefore x=y^3, meaning that y is 8^3 which is definetly not a digit at all. im not sure if this is right but ive doing it a few times and it seems to be.
@dylan: x is equal to y raised to the number of times x occurs in the phone number. (mod 10) That means: x=y^(number of times x occurs) (mod 10).
You said that “y=8^3″, and that would be y=x^3. Not the case–tricky! ;-)
aaaaahhh…. wait… that’s still doesn’t make sense the number would be 828-3890?
@dylan: It makes perfect sense. Remember, it’s (mod 10) so 10 would become 0. Therefore, … YOU GOT IT! 828-3890. Or, 82-83-89-0. X-P
Good job. (gives you points)
oooh! were they pink points?!??!?!
