which one?

I live in Montgomery County Arkansas. The Co. Seat is Mt. Ida.
For tele calls, the first 3 digits are 867.
So, 870-867-5309 would in fact, be a local number.
I womder if Jenny was from Mt. Ida?
Go Lions!

With the introduction of phone number portability, the concept of a "local number" has gotten a lot less meaningful.

The "secret" of Jenny's number is in fact a linear progression of the numbers on a telephone keypad. All the numbers flow from lower left to upper right. If this design is properly scaled and superimposed over an aerial of Washington D.C., in the correct rotational sequences, it creates the semaphore of an ancient and highly secret society and points to the location of the society's treasures.

I can only imagine why that would be important.

[USER=291]@Nate The Surveyor[/USER] I'll bite. What's significant about 5250?

It's never been something I've used, but my son tells me that it makes solving certain types of integrals much easier. (I no longer understand much of what he says when he speaks of math or physics, but I still enjoy conversing with him.)

Besides being a swing classic it's still in use as a phone number.
