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;  

" f" g- O  [$ G) E3 O  t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。
0 R6 m5 d4 E: }6 f输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
2 }' H5 C6 X3 f4 y4 j如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
