You Can't Deny Your Age

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 (get the calculator

out)

5. If you have already had your birthday this year

add

1759...

Or if you haven't, add 1758.



6. Now

subtract the four digit year that you were born.
