I got this from http://bigshottexas.blogspot.com
the first reading may seem amazing to you (well i was amazed by that too initially), but subsequently, a more careful analysis of the steps would show you how these calculations actually work. It's just child-play heh. Alright, read on first and see if you can find the flaw in the steps which would give you the same answer no matter what you choose in the first step.

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehoodanyway
-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 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 ITAROUND WHILE IT LASTS
"



OK read the following only after you've done your analysis and wanna know how this actually works.













Solution:
The key is in step 6. The rest are all bulls**t. =P
