Telephone Call (Posted on 2003-06-30) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Jim wants to call his friend Bob. Bob's Phone number is 976-6419. Jim dialed this number perfectly but then ended up calling the wrong house. He tried again and dialed the number perfectly. Once again his call didn't go through, in fact his call never went through to Bob.

Why couldn't Jim call Bob?

I heard a math problem once, where a kid switched the numbers on a calculator. Maybe something like that? Bob switched the numbers somehow? Yeah, sounds stupid. Still, this is under tricks, so someone may be doing something like that. Bob giving him the wrong number is a good answer though.
