Your Age By Eating Out

This 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 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.
 (You may need a calculator)!  

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

No Derma. You're actually about 17. I've seen bits of your heart laying all over the place over the years.

4- Norm on Aug. 28 2008

Why do I have to choose to eat out at least twice?  I abhor the restaurant experience.

5- Anstey on Aug. 28 2008

Norm:

Wow. We're opposites. Restaurants are my favorite thing...

FOOD.

YUM.

Good thing my age is still single digits.

7- Anstey on Aug. 28 2008

if you put up 3 single digits on one hand and 5 single digits on the other....

The you have two spare digits for a politician's IQ.
