Your Age By Eating Out

uksharon · 04-02-2007, 11:10 AM

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know!
YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH

This is pretty neat.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat.
(more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757 ....
If you haven't, add 1756.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(I.e., how! Many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK

Next year you will have to add 1758 if you've had a birthday, and 1757 if you haven't. Nice trick....

NOOOO!!! Please tell me there is a flaw in your calculations!. I can't be THAT old!!

Hi there,

Tricks like this are always a laugh to ask people, especially if they haven't had one done to them before, they look at you like you are magic

. But tricks like this usually only work for the year you are on. Don't know about this one, I think you could just increment the numbers you add on???

Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

lexmarks567 · 04-03-2007, 01:47 AM

every year this comes out but I never though of adding to the numbers for each year. Nice

jo_cstd · 04-03-2007, 08:02 AM

I got 25, which is my real age.

I guess I'm in the right track. lol.

I've tried several of these, they all never cease to amaze. Some are a bit different than this though so it was neat.
