Imagine what it would be like to be able to use your phone to call anyone you choose just by keying out their name on the keypad, rather than having to remember their actual number.
For example, if you wanted to call Iron Chris, you would key out the numbers 476624747...4=GHI, 7=PQRS, 6=MNO, 6=MNO, 2=ABC, 4=GHI, 7=PQRS, 4=GHI, 7=PQRS.
So....using this technique, which famous person would you be calling if you keyed out the following number... 43674392874.

Ada.

[Iron Chris]

George W Bush

[TheGoodGuy]

The correct answer is:

GEORGE W BUSH

Therefore...

Iron Chris, well done, you are now the owner of Thunderball number 2.
