this is a weird math problem....now dont' cheat and look at the bottom

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?

Once I got past "mulitply by 50" I had to stop because I couldn't do the math in my head.

Sounds like fun though.

I just click on that and up comes my little calculator.....I love it.....hahaha

 

[Saffron]

Oh my gosh Pumba. I do too, but I forgot all about it.

[Pin Wizard]

That's pretty neat!

 

[mrsapalm]

Hmmmm - my original number was 1. So... one person used the number 3, one person used the number 2, and one person used the number 1. Interesting.
