5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758... ; If you haven't, add 1757.
3 E) k/ p  X' ~  O- y6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

+ i( M" {. b! q' Y
; d( o$ j3 d. Y# g4 `/ ~$ C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。
5 h8 B/ |* t4 C  Y! F如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
