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!

6 T3 {& p% a# M* d: D6 `* @& Z  T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。
% g4 _3 N2 u2 b- x) r" f/ B输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
3 z' _# r7 |" G如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
