A friend sent me this....thought you all might enjoy it.


DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It only takes 30 seconds.

Work this out as you read. Don't read the bottom until you've worked it
out!









1. First of all, pick the number of evenings per week that you would like to
eat out.







2. Multiply this number by 2.









3. Add 5.








4. Multiply it by 50. I'll wait while you get the calculator








5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1749. If you
haven't, add 1748.








6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.







SEE BELOW
































You should now have a three digit number:

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to go out each week).

The second two digits are your age

This is the only year (1999) it will ever work,
so spread the fun around while it lasts..
