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

You're sure? It might be algebra, you know. You really want to find out? There'll be a test after, if I do this.

Where your age at the start of 2008 is "age", and k is 1 if you've had your birthday this year, and you were born in yyyy
j is any single digit number between 2 and 9
and you successively calculate
step 1: j
step 2: 2j
step 3: (2j + 5)
step 4: 50(2j + 5)
step 5: 50(2j + 5) + 1757 + k
step 6: 100j + age = 50(2j + 5) + 1757 + k - yyyy
multiply out the brackets
100j + age = 100j + 250 + 1757 + k - yyyy
cancel the 100j and add the integers
age = 2007 + k - yyyy
and the dictionary defines the word "age" as the difference between the current year and the year you were born, if you've had your birthday this year. Which is what the sum says.
