    YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH
    ​
    ​
    This is pretty neat. ​
    ​
    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! ​
    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 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!!!!!) ​
    ​
    THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK
