Neat Trick

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! <BR>


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

Yeah, crazy.  note: it will work even if you want to eat out 21 times a week, will just have a 4 digit number.

x=number of yummy eats.
y=year born (we'll assume you've had your b-day)

50(2x+5)+1758-y
100x+250+1758-y
100x+2008-y  (it should be pretty obvious now)

100x will place your random number in the hundreds place and leave your age as the last 2 digits.

BTW- this trick is biased against centenarians.

Wow, you give your year of birth and are then told how old you are.

Lotteries are a tax for people who suck at math.

   here we call the lottery "idiot tax"

my fav national lottery ?stat: If you take a pound coin and flush it down the toilet, you stand a better chance of that same coin coming back into your possession than you do of winning the lottery
