Default Dinner Party Mathematics

I have borowed this from Devotees. I have no idea how it works - but it does - though I'm sure Sticks will probably tell us how.

The only year it will ever work apparently is 2003

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST.

Work this out as you read it.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have dinner out (try for more than once but less than 10).

2. Multiply this number by 2.

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 1753 ..... if you have not, add 1752

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. (You should now have a three digit number).

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

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE
