[Am-info] Dinner Mathematics

[Mitch Stone]

Hopelessly OT, and a genuine waste of time -- but a nice mathematical 
curiosity for people who appreciate that sort of thing.

OUT FOR DINNER MATHEMATICS
#######################################
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun and it is 
pretty neat how it really works out.



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 
have dinner out. (try for more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)



3. Add 5. (for Sunday)



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



5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1752.... If you 
haven't, add 1751..........



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 have eat out each week.)





The next two numbers are :






YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it IS!!!!!)





THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2002) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND 
WHILE IT
LASTS. IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?
