                          It only takes 30 seconds
 
                            And it really works!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
                          Work this out as you read.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
             Don't read the bottom until you have worked it out!!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
               **Follow these 6 steps and this will amaze you...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  1.  First of all, pick the number of days a week that you would like
      to go out (see a movie, eat pizza, whatever).
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  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 1748; 
      If you haven't, add 1747.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  6.  Last step:  Subtract the four digit year that you were born.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  SEE BELOW:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  RESULTS:
  
  You  should  now  have a three digit number:
  

  The first digit of this was your original number (i.e. how many times
  you wanted to go out each week.)
  

  The second two digits are your age!!!  It really works!!!
