"Beer Math"

Try this it's interesting: Think of how many times you'd like to have a beer in a week (pick a number from 1-10) now double it,add 5,Multiply by 50(use a calculator if you must) if you've already had your birthday this year add 1755 if not add 1754,subtract the year you were born(you should have a 3 digit number),the first digit is the number you first chose and the next 2 digits are your age. Am I right????😉😉😲😲

(2*x + 5)*50 = 100*x + 250

The 100*x gives you the first digit being the original number.

Now 250+1755 (assuming you've had a birthday this year, works the same if not) = 2005

And it's obvious that 2005-year you were born = age

This trick will impress people who are extremely drunk or stupid.

What about if its 0?

Is that possible?

yeah, it works for 0, just leaves you with 2 digits, which is obviously your age, if you get 1 digit, then your probably not old enough to be thinking about beer!

Or those who were always crap at simple arithmetic and algebra.

Trick doesn't work for people over 99 years of age :p
