Your Age By Banana Consumption.

john_ny · 04-29-2008, 03:01 PM

Don't tell me you age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway- but your friends may know! Your age by banana math. Don't cheat by scroling 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.
1. First of all, pick the number of bananas you like to eat, per week (more than one, 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. (Answer below)

The first digit of this is your original number (i.e. the number of bananas you like to eat, per week). The next two numbers are your AGE!

Dan - Did you say you eat 10 nanners in a week? If so, that's why you got a four digit number.(The instructions said, "less than 10") Do you eat 10, and are you 38 years old? There is really no magic to this; you are giving your age, by listing your birth year. It is very easy to subtract your birth year from the current year to find your age. However, in this thing, we also need the first digit of the 3 digit number, so we need a number, that when you subtract your birth year, we get a 3 digit number; in other words, if you say you eat one banana, we need to have a number, like 2108, that will give you your banana consumption (1, first digit)+ your age (last two digits). If you eat 4 bananas, the number, from which you subtract your birth year, would have to be 2408. You could use any combinations of the numbers, added
, subtracted, and multiplied, so long a s you come out with 2X08, from which to subtract your birth year.
