hi

by a simple resturant maths equation it can figure out your age this defo works!!!



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 1758...

If you haven't, add 1757.



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 !

Evening Ukturk!



Blimey charlie!! Spot on! Grabbed the mobile for use of calculator and amazingly it was correct!



This is my first post and I have just bought a villa and will be out to live sometime early spring.



I have really enjoyed this site over the past month and have learnt many things from all you lovely people.

I'm no mathematician but it's a simple arithmetical trick...



The step one is nothing to do with eating merely a number between 1 and 10.



Step five will change by one each year as you get older..



so it will work... always.



Still a bit of fun....

Maths. was never my thing
