OUT TO DINNER MATHEMATICS

Recommended Posts

This is pretty neat how it works out.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST

It takes less than a minute....... Work this out as you read. Don't cheat and read the bottom until you've worked through it!

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. (Just because)

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

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1753.... If you havent, add 1752..........

Keep Going

6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.


You should have a three digit number.









Keep Going







The first digit of this was your original number
(How many times you want to eat out each week.)


The next two numbers are...

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

Would you like an explanation?

Just because I was intrigued :

x: original number
y: your date of birth

((2*x)+5)*50+175(3/2) -y = 100*x + (200(2/3)-y)
200(2/3) - y = your age

Cool trick though :)

You can't determine the length of your life
