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 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 < BR> 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 (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS -desphinx- is wild boar animals
Wow.... ............. =___=, dont read the spoiler part otherwise you will hate me... Spoiler lol, simple math.... ( 2 --> X ) x 2 = 4 4 + 5 = 9 9 x 50 = 450 (no matter what X you put in, 5 x 50 = 250 will always add up on the total sum ) 450 + 1758 = 2208 2208 - 1989 = 219 ( 1989 - 1758 = 231, eh.... yeah can you see it? 250 - 231 = 19 ..... yeah right ... simple math ) (20 years old 1988 - 1758 = 230, 250 - 230 = 20) And now you will be asking: okay now i know how they can tell my age but how do they know how old I am. But how do they know what number I choose/ had on my mind....... ( look again !!! for example you choose 3 ---> which means basically means 3 x 2 x 50 = 300) and no....., it doesnt only work for this year...... just use 1759 and 1758 instead of using 1758 and 1757 for the next year.... :eat:
go on the other thread of math education, math stuff with complicated numbers to add in a normal person head makes this trick quite useless... 1758 + 450 is already too complicated for the lay man to do in his/her head lol tricks that do simple math in base tens work so much better... lol
hehe like shadowchi said.... just simple math x) f(x) = (2·a + 5)·50 + 1758 - x a = time, how often u go eat (pretty useless) x = your date of birth ... u can also write it.. f(x) = (2·a)·50 + 5·50 + 1758 - x ... f(x) = 2·a·50 + 2008 - x 2·a·50 = 100a no matter what u chose u will still get the same number x100 and now... its simple, 2008 - x = your age hehe but still nice ~~ i like math !! x)
for next year you would just have to change the 1758 to 1759 and the 1757 to 1758 and it would work for next year as well...
I must have added wrong cause I did the number of times I wanted to eat at a resteraunt was 3 =p I got 5 in the end lolol!
