Guess Your Age By Eating In A Restaurant
September 3, 2008

I believe the purpose of a useful blog is to share relevant and entertaining information when you find it.  This may mean giving credit to others on occasion.

I came across a very unique blog article that was written by a banquet manager that I wanted to share and thank him for sharing a unique trick that will only work this year:

Don't tell me your age; you probably wouldn’t tell the truth anyway, but your waiter may know! Did you know that doing a little “dinner math” your waiter, or banquet manager, can tell you how old you are. Try this to find out.

No cheating…
1. First, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat to a restaurant. (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.
7. You should now have a three digit number.

The solution: 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 ! ------ (was the waiter right?)
 
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
