BEER/WINE MATHEMATICS
This is pretty neat how it works out.
This is cool beer/winemaths!!!!!!!
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING 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 times a week that you would like to have a pint or a glass or two of wine. (try for more than once)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be honest)
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 1755. If you haven't, add 1754
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 a pint week).
The next two numbers are .......
YOUR AGE! ~ (Oh YES, it IS!!!!! )
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
