In light of Greg’s recent (http://gregengland.com/) post, “Christmas Is Finally Over”, Randy’s (http://randywray.com/) “How Many Of Me” post, and Brady’s (http://evendays.org/) “I’m A Quaker” post, I thought I would put a fun website on this post. Trouble is, I didn’t fine one of those cool, fun websites. So instead, whip out those calculators (Scientific is fine, no graphing calculators required) and warm up that slide-rule, we’re going to have some real fun! That’s right my fellow members of our blog church, we’re going to do some math!

Now hold on before you hit that “back” button. We’ll mix in some dinner as well. Come on, give a poor old middle school math teacher a chance. Are we ready? Here we go.

This is called “Your Age By Dinner and Restaurant Math.”

1. Pick the number of times you like to eat out during the week. Must be 1 or more and less than 10.
2. Multiply that number by 2.
3. Add 5.
4. Multiply by 50.
5. If you’ve already had your birthday this year, add 1756. If you haven’t had your birthday this year, add 1755.
6. Now subtract by the 4 digit year you were born.
7. You should have a 3 digit number.

The first digit should be your original number you picked for the number of times you like to eat out.

The last 2 digits should be your age.

Now, who said math isn’t fun. BTW – this will only work for the year, 2006.
