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;  

( O/ U" E# E' R* e/ m3 x! D9 }
0 V- f8 c+ ~7 n( ~; X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。
) F* |% S  K- f# H9 }输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
. B$ V! H4 r" x5 n% Q如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
