try this,its cool

[brian c]

pick a number between 1 and ten.

multiply this by 2

add 5

multiply this by 50

if you have already had your birthday this year then add 1759,if you havent had a birthday this year yet then add 1758

now subtract the four digit year you were born

you should have a 3 digit number











the first digit was your original number and the other two are your age.

OH YES IT IS!

FOR SOME REASON THIS ONLY WORKS THIS YEAR 2009.

[Dave]

Very good...

[grumpygrouter]

[brian c]

[BDS]

Let the number you pick be X

x

Multiply by two, add 5

2x+5

Multiply by 50

50*(2x+5) -> 100x+250

Add 1758 or 1759 and substract the four digit year of your birth. 1950 is an example

100x+250+(1758-1950) -> 100x+250-192

100x+58

This is what you get. The number you chose times a hundred + your age.
If you chose ten as a"your number", the final number will have four digits, but it´ll still be "your number" followed by your age
For example, a 40 y/o guy chose 2 as his number. That got him 2*100+40 = 240 in the end.

This formula supposes you´re under a hundred years. If you want to use this forumla next year, use 1759 for those who haven´t had their birthdays yet, and 1760 for those who´ve had theirs


Maths demystified

[Oli]

[jay]

bluddy spot on to that sucks

[Highlander]

I just tried this twice - neither time came anywhere near my date. Is it just me or is this a load of rubbish???

Hope you measure three times before you order any tiles or gear or maybe invest in a calculator
