achernar Prolific Registered: Fri Jun 06 2003 Posts: 1336 Loc: Mumbai India	I, the great Al Vamoose shall use my mystical mind-reading powers, to guess your age. 1. Multiply your age by 7. 2. Multiply the product by 1443. Tell my the number which you get (or don't if you feel it invades your privacy) and I shall "mysteriously" "find out" your age (it will be pretty obvious, though, once you do the calculations). Note that this "trick" works only for ages from 10 to 99. My apologies to the elderly and our really young members. Anyone know similar silly age-guessing tricks used mostly by people who are under the impression that everybody else considers them 'psychics' or 'telepathics' (and sometimes by mathematicians)?

Er, Linda; that means that either: - You're younger than 10 (shouldn't you be at school then?!). - You're over 99. - Something's gone wrong with your calculations! So what's gone wrong?

Sorry, maybe humor doesn't translate between different countries very well! Your trick did work - I was just being funny.

You'll get a five-digit number rather than a six-digit one, but the age is still obvious, I think. _________________________ Dilige et quod vis fac
