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.

I remember when this made the rounds as "how many times a week you have sex"...rather than eat out. That was about 30 years ago.

I got this by e-mail, thought it was cool, and sat down to figure out how it worked. Strangely, nobody else found that as interesting as the original post... fancy that.![]()

Yeah, maybe people would rather eat out than have sex, after 30 years.![]()
You could tell me how it works and I won't remember it tomorrow!I don't quite have that mental capacity to figure it out on my own.![]()
When I was in grade school and high school, people my parents age used to type these up and pass them onward until the paper wore out. ( I remember in 5th grade an "old maid schoolteacher" confiscated one from a boy and was horrified to learn that his mother not only let him read her jokes, but had typed him his own copies.) Then, first mimeograph machines, then copiers allowed folks to keep one and share the copies. Now, the jokes make the rounds faster on the internet, but sometimes one stongly resembles a very old joke.
But you knew that all ready.![]()
I'm with you. I figured it out before I did the calculation. Simple math. But it does give a zinger of amazement if you suspend being curious.
Recently there was a webiste with the secrets to magic tricks. I'm actually sorry I found out what was behind the magic.
Magic and wonder is good. Within reason.

For some silly reason I thought I would offend because of the age thingy, sigh.
