OUT TO DINNER MATHEMATICS



This is pretty neat how it works out.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST

It takes less than a minute.......

Work this out as your read.

Don't cheat and read the bottom until you've worked through it!

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have dinner out (try for more than one but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)



3. Add 5. (for Sunday)



4. Multiply it by 50 - I'll wait while you get the calculator...



5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1753;

If you haven't, add 1752..........



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 have eat out each week.)



The next two numbers are...


YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it IS !! )


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2003) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?

I'm thinkin' that next year, 2004, change #5 to 1754 and 1753 and it'll work. No? Yes?
