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;  

4 t  @4 B7 I, M& d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。
' a& I6 K! I4 r* P9 G3 C5 x输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
