Someone, please, put me out of my misery here. If you have math skills, please tell me why this works.
How does this work?
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!
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 digits are your age! 2006 is the only year it will ever work!

You knew I'd be the first comment, here, didn't you? I've got the solution here, and I'm putting it in as a post on my blog. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI kind of figured you'd be the only one posting here. Maybe Melissa.
ReplyDeleteI just wasn't fast enough. But I would have had Adam work through it. He is pretty good at that stuff for a humanities major.
