This is pretty cool

I tried this,and darned if it dosent work!

1.Pick the number of times you would like to eat out in a week.At least one but no more then 10.

2.Multiply this number by 2.

3.Add 5.

4.Multiply by 50.

5.If you have had your birthday this year already,add 1757-if not add 1756.

6.Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.You should have a 3 digit number.





The first digit will be the number of times you would like to eat out,and the other two numbers will be your age.This will only work for 2007,but i though it was intresting.

Of course it works.

I tried this,and darned if it dosent work!

1.Pick the number of times you would like to eat out in a week.At least one but no more then 10.

Call that number x. It is a whole number.

2.Multiply this number by 2.

Now you have 2x.

3.Add 5.

Now you have 2x+5

4.Multiply by 50.

Now you have 100x+250

5.If you have had your birthday this year already,add 1757-if not add 1756.

Now you have 100x+2007 (had your birthday) or 100x+2006 (didn't have it yet)

6.Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.You should have a 3 digit number.

If the year you were born is denoted y, now you have 100x+(2007-y) if you've had your birthday or 100x+(2006-y) if you haven't.

The first digit will be the number of times you would like to eat out,and the other two numbers will be your age.This will only work for 2007,but i though it was intresting.

In both cases, the expression in parentheses is equal to your age, and appears in the final two digits of the answer, tens and units column, while x, being mullitplied by 100, is in the hundreds column.

PS: It won't work if you're 100 years old or older. Somebody who was born January 1, 1905, and wants to eat out twice a week will get 302, not 2102, as their answer.

Bugman ol' buddy, never try to fool Mils with numbers. He just has a knack for them.

Not trying to fool anybody,and i'm sure Mil's understands how it works,because i have not a clue. 😀

Wouldn't it just be easier to take those munbers and put them together instead of all that crazy math?
