Get a calculator ready!

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 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  

Wow! It actually worked! I came up with 237. I usually eat out twice per week and I'm 37. Strange! :o

I got a negative number.  :P

yep it worked...got 318...

I like to eat out 3 times a week and I am 18...will be 19 on the 19th of this month though!  ;)

It's interesting to note that the formula will work for any positive interger relating to the number of times you wish to eat out.  e.g. If you wanted to eat out 7169 times a week, the formula would still work.

Also, your age must be between 1 and 99.

Darn.  That means you and Muddy don't qualify?
