BEER MATHEMATICS

This is pretty neat how it works out.

This is cool beer math!!!!!!!

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

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 and the end result will intrigue you.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have a pint. (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 have already had your birthday this year add 1755.... If you haven't, add 1754 ...

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 have a pint week).

The next two numbers are .......

YOUR AGE! ~ (Oh YES, it IS!!!!! )

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. :smile5:

I was left with 236, 2 was the number I started with and 36 is my age, but 36 is also how many pints I drink in those 2 days, how did it know that :beer2:

Very clever - just 1 problem.

By the time I got to the end I'd forgotten the number of pints (drams) I'd entered at the start. The reason became apparent when I looked at the last 2 numbers showing my age :hmmm:

Sober up and try again.
