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!

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758... ; If you haven't, add 1757.
; J) R+ C5 q9 n6 W- P* v/ Z* U6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

" h) P" s! i3 l; h+ u
* i/ _1 I5 p" r$ e) J( B! O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。
, W$ x" V2 b! B输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
# M0 [$ J% M) y, u如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
