Have fun!

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST !

It only takes about 30 seconds . . . . . .

Work this out as you read. Make sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's GOOD.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you play with your Kerry
   - try for more than once but less than 10.
2. Just to be bold, multiply this number by 2.
3. Add 5.
4. Multiply the result by 50 .
   (I'll wait while you get the calculator.)
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. (if you can remember)

You should now have a three digit number.
The first digit of this was your original number.......
(Remember, how many times you play with your Kerry each week.)

The second two digits are your age.

Right? Cool!

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL WORK.
