Your age by eating out- if you are honest

Received this mail from my friend:



Try this! It really works! :)

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

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,

SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS...




Interesting huh? After I posted my post in English, Jun Yi message in Chinese version arrived. So I edited the post to share it with you, again.

Lets see another Chinese version:




数学系的期中考题目-- 厉害厉害

超准 !!! 关于年龄的秘密

向下卷动看答案之前, 请先试着做答,要不然就失去乐趣了!!

大概会花15 秒吧

一面读一面做:

[1] 首先 ,随意 挑一个数字(0.1.2.3.4.5.6.7)

[2] 把这个数字 乘上2

[3] 然后 加上 5

[4 ] 再乘以 50

[5] 如果你今年的生日已经过了,把得到的数目 加上1758 ; 如果还没过,加 1757

[6] 最后一个步骤,用这个数目减去你出生的那一年 (公元的 ) 现在你会有一个三位数的数字 ; 第一个位数是你一开始选择的数目 接下来的二个位数就是你的年龄 ( 请承认)→ 真的就是如此 这个游戏只有在今年有效 , 所以 mail 所有你认识的人 …把这个欢乐散布出去吧 …
