Number Trick


This numbers trick works... give it a try.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST. IT ONLY TAKES 30 SECONDS.

Don't read the bottom till you have worked it out.

  1. First of all, pick the number of days a week that you would like to eat out.
  2. Multiply this number by 2.
  3. Add 5.
  4. Multiply it by 50.
  5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1749. If you haven't, add 1748.
  6. 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 wanted to go out each week)

The second two digits are your age.

This is the only year (1999) it will ever work, so spread the fun around while it lasts.
