My mother's 94 year old cousin has just e-mailed this to me, so thought I would share it! 
I tried it - and it does work!


TELL YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT
 

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway - but your waiter may know!
 
 
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 1757 ....
If you haven't, add 1756.
 

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 (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

I love math things like this. It's really cool the way they work out.

Of course, I've decided not to have any more birthdays....... :-)

Thanks for sharing.

I have seen this one before, but I am still amazed with how it all works.
