YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

Part of the following message is not true because this works next year too if at step 5) you add 1758 or 1757 instead of 1757 or 1756.

No, I did not take time to figure this algebra out myself, the folks at Snopes did.

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 1757
....
If you haven't, add 1756.

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 (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT
AROUND WHILE IT LASTS
