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.
% q4 J- ]. i2 f/ X6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;

) s. w4 U) J8 E. F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。
- v$ K* E4 q1 ~7 y如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
