Don't tell me your age---but the following math works!

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway---but your waiter may know!

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

无聊，5和6都是问生日的，和一开始的“Don't tell me your age”自相矛盾。
& S$ F7 \! l9 p7 X8 w% J% G输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
$ L. n  Q3 k. {8 p! b如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
