This is quite cool, in a nerdy kind of way. Presumably you could substitute many other things for “dining out” but this is the way I received it. Grab a calculator and try it!
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
This 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 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!!!!!)
