It is sunny, 70*F and a nice gentle breeze blowing. Who wants to work? LOL
Oh wait, it is MY Sunday today! ;D
Kelda:
I have a 6 digit number - the 4th digit was a 0 but all the rest (three either side) were right....
Meryl:
Cool beans! Both my age and my phone number came out right. I'm with David, though. I'd rather have Heath or Jake's number. ;D
injest:

I was off 10 years...but hey, I don't mind....I could be thirty again...

It's technically correct: You have to change step 5 every year. Next year, it'll be 1758/1757.
The formula is is a convlution of (100*x)+y where x is the number of times you want to go out to eat/have sex/whatever and y is your age.
It doesn't work if you're over a hundred. It does work if you choose more than ten times, except that the result isn't three digits anymore.
50(2x+5)+(1757-y) =
100x+250+(1757-y) =
100x+(2007-y)=
If we call 2007-y "age" (which it will be, if you've had your birthday) we get:
100x+age = oooh, spooky magic trick
You know folks, I should be doing some real work here! LOL

Ye gods, I'm away from this thread all day and I come back to an algebra lesson. I thought I'd left that behind in high school! :laugh:
