YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway!

YOUR AGE BY DINNER & 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, its fun.



1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (More than 1 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

THIS IS THE COOL PART.....



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!

 

[Mummy-D]

Dont know how that worked....but it did

 

[Happybunny]

[nissa]

I cannot believe that worked! I'm gonna ask my bro how (he's a maths geek!)

So strange!

 

[helsekia]

OMG that worKed!thats so cool

 

[Storm.]

It keeps telling me I'm 25!?!?! Im 26!!!!!

 

[Happybunny]

My OH told me how it worked - he thinks I am pretty stupid for not working it out! Doh!

 

[emeraldsroses]

Pick any number between 1 and 10. Call that number 'n'.

Step 1: n
Step 2: 2n
Step 3: 2n + 5
Step 4: 50 * (2n + 5)
= 100*n + 250

So what you have there is 100 times the number you picked at the start, and then 250.

If you add 1758 to that 250 bit, you get..... 2008. Which is this year.

If you subtract the year you were born from that number, you get.... your age (or 1 away from your age, which is why the number to use is 1757 if you haven't yet had your birthday).

100 * n is n00, which is why your original number shows up at the start.


Step 5: 100*n + 250 + 1787
= 100*n + 2008

If you were born in 1980, say, you'd have:

Step 6: 100*n + 2008 - 1980
= 100*n + 28 (your age)
= n00 + 28
= n28

The whole 'n' number is just used so that you don't think about the fact that you're just counting the number of years between the year you were born and the current year!

Ahem

What can I say ladies. My husband is a total geek. Maths geek at that. Super geeky. I kid you not

You lost me at step one
