I don't understand...

Do this:



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 CHEATBY 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 1757... If you haven't, add 1756.


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!!!)



Okay - so, this worked for me. Did it for you?



I know that there is a genius out there who can explain this...how do these number games work????

Hey Mikki. They ususally work because they use the same logic no matter what you choose. Try picking a different number of times you'd like to go out and do all the same math. Ay Carumba! Is the answer still the same? -Monica
