The below I just got in an email. It is incredible -- try it. It should take less than a minute. Like magic
Robt.

I don't get it! This is pretty neat how it works out. (I know, I am "math challenged"- so if you can tell me the trick- please 'splain it to me! I was amazed!!)

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 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 1753....

If you haven't, add 1752..........
.
.
.
.
.
.
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 (2003) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?
