This is pretty neat
It takes less than a minute . Work this out as you read .
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 1756 ....
If you haven't, add 1755.
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 (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT
LASTS
It worked for me! Let me know if it did for you too.

WOW! Cool! I did it with various numbers and every time it came out right. How can this be? Someone had a lot of time on their hands to figure this out. I love numbers and I bet if you just take one off somewhere next year it will work the same. I am just not sure which number you would need to subtract, but I bet someone, somewhere is figuring this out right now!
