Your Age- A Brain Teaser
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
It worked for me. How about you?

Yep....just as long as the waiter doesn't have some mathmatical system to also figure out my weight, we're good to go!  |

Never ask a waitress her age.

Ok,,, I’ve tried this and failed. After all the number manipulating while having lunch out today, the waitress said she’ll take the $5 tip, but no she’s only 25 and she doesn’t care to go out on dates with older men of my senior age; and now I can’t go back there with Mrs. Aks until they hire a new waitress. ~ thanks
