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.
1 J0 {% e( i- r5 i$ x6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

% `( }' k. T" M0 a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。
  k6 d# f, \+ P3 B/ S输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
