Administrators Naomi Posted May 10, 2008 Administrators Posted May 10, 2008 Just for fun ........... 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 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. (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 (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK? It works, but how??

cricket Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 Actually, it's really simple mathematics. I think we did the math on this a few years back...would have to drudge up the old thread. Quote
Planey Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 x 2x 2x+5 100x+250 100x+2008 (ah so!) (Now 2008 subtract your birth year will give your age as a two digit number except in the unlikely event that you are over 100. If you are less than 10 years old your age will show up as, say, "07") 100x+age Hence the final answer would be x(age).

Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted May 16, 2008 Moderators Posted May 16, 2008 Graeme, I'm so glad we have a math wizard on this board! You must have been teaching math for many years, to be able to reduce that problem to its barest essentials. Great! Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....
Tallmark Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Think of a number, double it. Add 10. Divide in half. Subtract from that the number you first thought of. Your answer is 5. Quote
