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;  

5 ~2 j) ~3 i. ~4 ^( m4 R
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。
# m. P. F; h3 T输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
