Got this in an email today....some people must have a lot of time on their hands to figure this stuff out, but it is pretty uncanny!

USE RESTAURANT MATH to REVEAL YOUR AGE
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you
would like to go out to eat. (between 1 and 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already ha d your birthday this year add 1758...
If you haven't, add 1757.
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 (how many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)The next two numbers are YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD
IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

because of the way the math works the only relevant numbers are the last two in each number sequence. No matter which number you choose you will end up with the last two digits of 07 if you have not had your bday and 08 if you did. You are essentially subtracting your birth year from 2007 and 2008 which gives you your age. The rest of the equation is designed to give you back your beginning number.

Totally agree, Jen...there HAS to be something... it was accurate for both me and my coworker...

Okay, that's freaky. Is it a trick? Well it must be, but I can't figure it out. It works, though.
