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.
; S, c% p4 P1 e+ I6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

2 P, e  a( X) S0 A' y! z
) K' @$ I. G9 `* |0 \2 J! 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。
, h" S# ]$ D( Q8 n0 e输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
