You know folks, I should be doing some real work here! LOL

It is sunny, 70*F and a nice gentle breeze blowing.   Who wants to work?    LOL

Oh wait, it is MY Sunday today!

I have a 6 digit number - the 4th digit was a 0 but all the rest (three either side) were right....

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.

math??

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

No one answered my question so I had to figure it out for myself!

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!

Morning all,

38 degrees this morning so a little chilly out there. Looks to be a nice day though...

Brrr!      I just turned the heat on to take the chill off the house.   

The sun is finally rising, but I think the weather is going to deteriorate for the next few days.   Certainly not as nice as the past few, thats for sure.   Monday hit 88*F.   A new record here.
