custard Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 This takes less than a minute....... DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have a pint or two. 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to get an honest figure) 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 1755. If you haven't, add 1754 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 a pint this week). The next two numbers are ....... …………..YOUR AGE! THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDN Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 1. 22. 2 = 4 3. 5 = 9 4. 50 = 450 5. 1754 = 2204 6. 1983 = 0221 0221 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. "x" 2. 2x 3. 2x + 5 4. (2x + 5) X 50 = (100x + 250) 5. (100x + 250) + (1754 or 1755) = 100x + (2004 or 2005) So the first digit (in the "hundreds" position) will always be "x" - the number of times you want to drink and the last two digits will obviously be your age (this year - birth year) - unless you're 100 years old or more Next!

It was good to chat to you too - I'm sure I'll see you at another meet-up soon. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
