I Wonder How They Do That...

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.

This is fun .. I would eat out ALL the time if I had my way .. and in a way I do. I eat lunch at the office cafeteria which has excellent food .. and I usually stop and get something for dinner.. something prepared .. Husband makes his own dinner he likes to eat later than I do .. I stopped cooking eons ago ..

I eat lunch in the cafeteria also... and the hubby cooks dinner because he gets home first! I haven't cooked in a LONG time!

Wow! That's pretty cool.

Sadly, I had to get out a piece of scratch paper to do the math. Math and I have never been friends!

I did one of those a few years ago with a different pair of four-digit numbers to add. Worked then, too-- Can't recall how.

That time, it started with, "How many times a day would you like to eat chocolate"!
