I know there's a mathematical trick here but it's still pretty interesting...
YOUR AGE -- BY EATING OUT
Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but your waiter may know!
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!!!)

or we could say...
(x*2+5)50+1756-y=100x+2006-y
(2x+5)50+1756-y=100x+2006-y
100x+250+1756-y=100x+2006-y
100x+2006-y=100x+2006-y
x+2006-y=x+2006-y
x-y=x-y
...all of these word games can be broken down to simple math, and then just canceled out.
