This is pretty neat how it works out.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST

It takes less than a minute.......

Work this out as you read.

You may need a pencil and paper for the math. Smile

This is fun!


1. First of all, pick the ! number of times a week that you would like to have dinner out. (try for more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)



3. Add 5. (for Sunday)



4. Multiply it by 50 - I'll wait while you get the calculator................



5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1753.... If you haven't, add 1752..........



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 nu! mber

(I .e., how many times you want to have eat out each week.)


The next two numbers are...



YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it IS!!!!!)


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2003) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?

Can you figure out why it works? c.i.

Nifty!

I remember once in a bar a friend had a different but similar series of questions that started out "How many times a week would you like to have sex" which worked for that particular year, but he forgot to specify that it had to be a one-digit number so my answer was not the expected one...

didnt work for me. i got 81, no three-digit number.

perhaps its because i'm feeling introvert. i only feel like having dinner out once a week. times 2 is still 1. etc.

@rdrobby111,
From original post:

We're now in 2014.
2014 - 2003 = 11
454 + 11 = 465
