Puzzled?  Should not be.

When an area has prefixes of NXX form instead of NNX (as has happened
with 404 etc., and is to happen in 1991 with area 215), long distance
calls take this form:

Within that area: 7D or 1 + NPA + 7D (yes, your own NPA) to other
areas: 1 + NPA + 7D.

1 + 7D and NPA + 7D can no longer be used in such cases.  They would
require timeout.
