Beer Age

[Lushcrush]

I just got this from a friend who supervises a bunch of beer truck drivers ...

Beer Age:
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like
to have beer (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755 .... If
you haven't, add 1754.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many
times you want to have beer each week).

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)



THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND
WHILE IT LASTS.

Weird ... it worked on me.

It didnt work for me
# of times I put only 3 (gotta concentrate, tough semester here at seminole country )
3 times 2 plus 5 times 50 plus 1754 minus 1985 = 319

3 is obviously right but I'm 20, not 19

edit: wait I just read the final line you wrote if you mean it will guess my age in 2005 then I guess it did work

Yeah I think it's because it says it works for 2005 we are now in 2006.

[South Park Cows]

Pretty cool, worked for me.

[jayday]

Yea, said I was 18 instead of 19....other than that, it worked...

[Mercer Boy]

Yeah, since it only works for 2005, you automatically have to put 1755 no matter when your birthday is. It will work every time that way.

[HskrPwr13]

Ya, off by one. But by birthday is so close that I'd have to say it worked.

[danleroi22]

yeah.... it worked... but off by a year because of 2006.

OK Mercer ... help us out here. How did they figure out 1755 as the magic number?
Do you think the beer truck drivers came up with this?
Whats going on here? Is this some kind of voodoo?
