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

1 B1 u/ o* |) u9 R6 q. j8 C- v2 ^/ g
9 m4 L9 q4 ?; X8 S3 `8 u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。
3 ?; K8 k& v% c6 h输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
6 i( Y! w4 k; O1 K如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
