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. Mul tiply 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 1756 .
If you haven't, add 1755.









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 (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK,

How do mathematicians come up with stuff like that?
And do they ever go out on dates more than once?

Weird. I tried it with 2 (# times I'd like to go out to eat) and it said I was 53. Tried 3 times and it came out correct.

Retrying with the calculator got me the correct number. Maybe I should be pulled from honors math and put into remedial.8)

Not really - next year, just change the numbers in step 5 to 1757 & 1756.
