The area code had to have a zero or a 1 as the second digit. And zeros and one were not permitted for the first two numbers of the next part.
404-789-5555 was a typical number
243-617-0000 could not have existed before the need for so many more numbers.
I used to give this problem for permutations in Algebra 2, but the answer had to adapt! Pay phones? Actual public telephones that you put a dime in and could call someone all the while touching breathing some stranger's germs! Well my telephone was ringing And they told me it was Chairman Mao Well my telephone was ringing And they told me it was Chairman Mao You can tell him anything 'Cause I just don't wanna talk to him nowDon't see to many of them anymore that's for sure!!
