Multiply this number by 2 Add 5 Multiply it by 50 If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757 .... If you haven't, add 1756. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should now have a three digit number. The first digit of this was your original number. (How many times you went out to restaurants in a week.) The next two numbers are YOUR AGE!
