Default Your Age By Eating Out

This actally works try it out!!!

YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

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!!!!!)
< I>
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

A bunch of nerds that haven't yet discovered the opposite sex yet is my only explanation.

I can't find any other reason for having the time to bother with working out the maths :

It would just be case of using the equation backwards, if you can work out a calculation that involves the number in the question at the start your halfway there, then using an answer to some of the other questions about year of birth

But I wouldnt have a bloody clue how to do it...too much thinking when other thihgs can be done

obviously this has nothing to do with the number of times you eat out.
