heres one for all you boozers
 

i robbed this of our webby it involves drink !! and i am irish lol
hope you's havent seen this one before
this is cool beer math
DONT CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST
it takes less than a minute.....
work it out as you read
be sure you dont read the bottom until you've worked it out it's fun

1 first of all pick the number of days in a week you would like to have a drink.(try for more than once)

2 multiply this number by 2 (just to be honest)

3 add 5 .(for sunday)

4 multiply it by 50 i'll wait while you get the calculator ................

5 if you already have had you're birthday this year add 1755..if you have'nt add 1754....

6 now subtract the four digit year that you were born ..
you should now have a 3 digit number
the first digit was your original number
(ie how many times a week you want to have a drink)

the next 2 numbers are........

YOUR AGE !! (OH YES IT IS!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL WORK ,SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS ...

Re: heres one for all you boozers
 

hmmmmmm. ..strange.....but true ;)

Re: heres one for all you boozers
 

It will only work this year with the numbers you mentioned, it will work every year with the correct numbers in for the 1755/4

Its a very basic mathematical formula

x = number of drinks
Double it 2x
Add 5 2x+5
Mult by 50 100x+250
Add 1755 100x+2005

minus DOB 100x +(2005 - DOB) == 100x + Your Age!

the 100x basically shifts the decimal place two places to the right hence making the first of the three digits the one you started with, the other two are your age that is left over from the 2005-DOB bit.

YAWN!!! :)
