Re: Your Age By Banana Consumption.
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.
