Your Age by eating out---really cool and fun to do
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, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

9. You added wrong, then.
Step through it. All you are doing is multiplying your first choice by 100 then subtracting your birth year from 2007 (or 2006, depending on your birthday--did you miss that step?). Has to come out right.

12. Jeez, it's just basic algebra
Edited on Tue Sep-11-07 01:02 PM by HERVEPA
You gave your answers. The math played around with them and gave them back to you in a different form.

You could do it for any other year just by tweaking it a bit.

(or does this response belong in the "get 50% of the people to hate you" thread)
