Your age by going fishing

CarpMan · 06-26-08, 07:34 PM

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway.

This is pretty neat . Use your calculator if needed

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.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go fishing. (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 1758... If you haven't, add 1757.

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 fishing in a week.)

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK,

Not quite true. In 2009, just use 1759 or 1758 and add 1 for each subsequent year you'd like to use it.

wise man... i should have thought of that

Thats pretty cool. You can go fishing more then 7 times a week. What is you go to one lake in the morning and then decide to go to another lake in the afternoon. Thats 2 different trips.

Well, I did the math as you recommended. I followed the instructions to a "T", checked and rechecked my work.
According to the results I haven't been born yet and when I am, on August 1, 2013, I'll also be my own grandfather.
