YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT
This is pretty amazing~~who figures these things out?!?
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things; it's fun, so it's worth it!!
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757 ... If you haven't, add 1756
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 go out to restaurants in a week)
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2007) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

Out of respect to Pir8, I'm not going to give the trick away, but I will give a clue or two or three. Steps 3, 4, and 5 have a special relationship. Steps 1, 2, and 4 are also related. The numbers in line 5 would have to change for a year other than 2007.
BTW, I did not know this trick beforehand, but it does lend itself to mathematical solution.
