OUT TO DINNER MATHMATICS

This is pretty neat how it works out.

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 (Just to be bold)
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
haven't, add 1752..........
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 eat out each week.)
The next two numbers are... YOUR AGE!

It's like algebra :)

x = # of eat out days
y = birthyear

The formula for making the answer is:

100x + 2003 - y

They just broke it up in to:

50(2x+5) + 1753 - y
