Restaurant Math

This was emailed to me; it's quite clever and it does work. Just make sure you don't look at the bottom until you get there.

Work this out as you read .




Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!







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!)

Be sure to let me know how you got on by leaving a comment.
