You see, each of the 10 digits (12, including pound and star) create different tones. This is the basis of touch tone operation. So not only are you wrong on there being three tones, you're wrong on it not being universal. and I bet most people could tell you that.
Do I actually need to explain how I can translate a string of unique pitches into a phone number? This is why I asked if you were joking. This isn't some sort of magical ability, it's a simple skill.
Nor is calling you stupid any more than a statement of truth. I know your parents probably raised you to have self esteem, but I'm not going to coddle you.

Explaining the "wow" was fairly useless. I was asking about the universal keytones. And I couldn't really be wrong about it, because I didn't know. Hence, saying "I had no idea". The phone I have, right here beside me-- the magical touchtone phone-- has three tones. Or, at least, three tones that I can clearly distinguish. Don't know what to tell ya, there.
Also, as a completely unrelated issue: When you try to anger someone, or insult them without thinking, you're the guy who "makes it bigger". There is no malintent in this conversation from me, and yet you start in right away with the jabs at my intelligence, and insinuate that I"m "crying" about the subject, simply because you don't like what I say. People have told you before and I'm sure you either ignored it or took it the wrong way, but you really need to work on your interpretation of context. In other words, alternate views or input are not necesaarily an attack. So, you may not want to be a dick at all times, because you really don't need to be.
