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;  

: X" T6 z& f/ Q% B! `
! s* f1 B9 @* b, p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。
. W9 @, b8 c6 q" n1 a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。
