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;  

2 t% u  d2 Q( a% W8 J# Z
, b+ J: v$ N# ^$ A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。
7 Z$ \* i  o0 U: e' T输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
1 Z% |* O, g7 q9 J% v如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
