A Number Trick for 2005
1. First pick the number of days of the week that you would like to go to the
movies with your friends.
2. Multiply this number by 2.
3. Add 5.
4. Multiply it by 50.
5. If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1755. If you have NOT
had your birthday, then add 1754.
6. Subtract the four digit year that you were born.
7. You should now have a three digit number (or a two digit number if you picked
0 for the number of times to go to the movies). The first is the number of
times you want to go the the movies (it is 0 as previous). The second two are
your age!!!
Note: You can adjust this for any year by adjusting the numbers in step #5
Does 1+1=1?
