Your age by eating out

[pardes]

What age thingy?

Oh, you mean the AGE thing.

I may be scientific and break mathematical codes and be skeptical of some pandered "truths;" but to me, age is the real ineffable magic of the universe.

It's flexible and elastic and as cool as the first time you played with a slinky.

lol, we have similar names, I had to say to myself "I haven't been on this site for a couple of days, how did I reply to this thread?"

Funny you should mention it... my first choice when I registered was "badger" but it turns out it was already taken... by YOU! *shakes fist menacingly*

That is amazing. How did that WORK???

Hint: You will get the same result with any number you choose at the beginning.

If you're over 100 years old, it won't work....

I'm so mathematically-challenged, I could never begin to figure out how stuff like that works.

So here's my dumb question...is 2008 really the only year this will work?

Let N=number of time eat our per week (1.le.N.lt.10)

Let BY= year of your birth

(2N+5)*50 + 1758 - BY

100N + 250 + 1758 - BY

100N + 2008 - BY

Obviously, 2008-BY is your age, N is the first digit of the resulting 3 digit number.

Changing 1758 to 1759 will make it work in 2009, etc.

Brava, Deb.

the fact is, you ARE inputting your birthyear. That should be the first clue.

Nice math Deb.
