Hello:

I don't think this is funny... Ok, it's funny weird, not funny ha ha.

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 1758...

If you haven't, add 1757.

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. (how many
Times you want to go out to restaurants in a week)

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE ------ Oh YES, they are! I don't know why.

Ok, that's just weird. Wow...

728... sheesh...

I screwed up the first time and mutliplied 3 times 5 and it still got my age right... hmmm go figure. Edit... lol boy do I feel dumb...

W.e.i.r.d...

YEP... works for me!

WOW. That is weird. Nice post.

Freaky!

It worked, it's a number trick. I saw something like this before. It might take me a little while but I will find out how it works.

The first 1 or 2 steps don't actually count in the result. It's just there to add mysterity(not sure if that is a word).

Yep really strange

It worked forme as well... totally weird...

Worked for me, except that it was 4 digits, 1021. Are you guys telling me that if you could you wouldn't eat out ten times a week?

That was weird! Totally correct about me!

Thanks, excon! :)

I know this is an old post, but it didn't work for me. See: 2 x 2 = 4 + 5 = 9 x 50 = 450 + 1757 = 2207 - 1983 = 224... I want to go out to eat twice a week, but I am 25. I haven't had my birthday this year yet!!

OMG PEOPLE THIS IS A SIMPLE MATH PROBLEM!!


It doesn't work because it was designed LAST YEAR!!

For this year, use 1759 and 1758 in place of 1758 & 1757.


I made a really big long post explaining this thoroughly, but our power went out and the work was lost before I could post it :(


anyway, for the number of times you'd like to go eat out, look at this chart, this is input>output for the first few steps (before you add 1758 or 9)

1>350
2>450
3>550
4>650
5>750
you get it
10>1250

so, the number in the first (or second) column, is your original number +2. next what he does with this column is add 17 (1758) and subtract 19 (19-- [your birthday]). So...

1+2+17-19= 1!! -first part solved


the next columns are all 50 no matter which number you put in, refer to previous chart... soooo:

50+58 (1758)= 108 this "108" is basically 2008, which was last year, for purposes of this problem, if you haven't had your birthday yet, you're still in "last year".

50+59 (1759)= 109 this is 2009, you've had your birthday, you're a year older, congrats.


ex: If you were born in 1992 and hadn't had your birthday:

50+58= 108- 92= 16


this is basically like subtracting the year you were born, from the year it is, of course that's how old you are!

Dang, no need to get your undies all in a bunch!!

I was mostly mad because my first post had gotten lost when our power went out :(

Hello again:

Well, I like it much better now. I'm younger than I thought.

I understand and I am sorry for the rude remark back. I get frustrated also...
Like when I go to put my opinion on a forum whether it be old or not, I always tend to get a response of 1. This post is old.
2. You don't have a license to answer this question.
And that in itself gets annoying. Truth is I only come onto this site when I am at work because for some odd reason we aren't allowed internet access, but this site is not blocked from me... so it helps my day go by quicker... ;) Like last Friday I spent the whole day on the Humor and Comedy forum reading jokes and laughing to myself!!
