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;  

( r: i9 e$ ], m' {/ Z; C2 j7 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。
输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
1 p: r) g1 j: E0 a  w2 w2 N6 B如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
