I forget the equation, but it's sort of a joke that I believe involved Dolly Parton and the answer is 22378008. If you turn the calculator upside down the number reads to "BOOBLESS". There was another one that said "SHELLOIL". I remember these from grade school.

It's a common math trick. The numbers you add up to begin set up the ones you use at the end. It all ends up with your phone #. I give credit to someone for actually crunching the numbers to get the equation, but it's pretty common.
