Try This:1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat.
(more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 ....If you haven't, add 1755.
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 go out to restaurants in a week.)
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

Actually initially I worked this out pretending that it was still 2006, and yes it is right. Then I did a little bit of juggling pinklilly and it can still work for every year, but you have to change the additions in #5. Add a 1 to the 1756, making it 1757 and do the same with the 1755 (when you haven't had your birthday), so that becomes 1756. It will still work out except you will have to change the year from (2006) to (2007).
Now you can spread it all around, and it will still be valid for this year. It just means that if you want to make it for a certain year, you add 1 to those previously mentioned numbers. I tried it out with all sorts of starting figures and it still comes out accurate.
In saying that, I also have to add that I haven't yet worked out how it comes up with the idea, and there will be some sort of formula, but it still does work. You can keep this one going for years to come pinklilly. :)
