You can't trick it.......

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
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.

NO WAY!!!! I know there's some trick to these number guessing things, but it all seems like black magic, voo-doo to me! That was too weird!

I read on one of your comments that you lived in Meridian. Even though I still have a Boise address, I live in a Meridian stake and school district. Just curious about where you lived and wonder if I'd ever run into you at an event. What a small world!

Ok that is amazing!! I can't believe it worked! Thanks to math for entertaining us today, that was so cool!
