This can tell you your age and how many times a week you would like to eat out



Wow.. this is amazing... it got my age right and the number of times I would
like to eat out per week and it worked !!!



Some of you older ones may need to get the calculator out...............I
did











YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT






Don't tell me your age; you'd probably would tell a lie anyway - but
your waiter may know!


YOUR AGE BY DINNER & RESTAURANT MATHS






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.(ish)


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to
go outto 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
youwant to go out to restaurants in a week.)


The next two numbers are


YOUR AGE ! -- (Oh YES, it is!!!)


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) ITWILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE
IT LASTS

i just HAD to give it a go...and it worked Smudger!!!!!
I didn't need a calculator either,or paper and pen,so you've cheered me up no end this morning

it worked! wow...

Cheers for that, is nobody else going to have a go then?

Smudger.

Amazing

It didn't work the first time but that was because I didn't read the instructions properly and instead put my honest answer, which was once a week please...

Thanks Smudger

It worked for me too. I wonder how they do it? I mean figure out something like that! Happy New Year to you all, Health, wealth and very good feelings for 2008 with lots of love thrown in, for yourselves, everything you do and all people on earth - yes, and for our beloved Blue Planet too. Love, F

A happy'n'healthy New Year to you & Mk2 Smudger!

Hi F and Jaz, Thanks for your best wishes

I dont think that trick will work now, as we are now into 2008?
At least it did for a short time there I must look for another one.
Smudger.

HI Smudger

How are things?

Geez! Hi Abbi, I was just thinking last night that I had never heard from you for ages on here, and then I saw this tonight
How are you doing these days?
We are still in the same position, in fact we got hit again last weekend, when a group of teenagers thought it would be fun to throw a flower put at our front door, and smash it right in the centre, luckily missing the leaded glass panel. This was at ten past one in the morning!
So nothing has changed, and we are still trapped here
