YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH



This is pretty neat DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!


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 digi t 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!)

That's what I'd like to know! I like to figure out how these math problems are done but I'd have to work on this one a while.

If you figure it out, let us know - even though I started the thread, I'm not sure what the formula is.
