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.
2 S/ I8 w/ r; p6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

( A4 |3 F3 M4 K0 D  a3 W" b% e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。
