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.
3 f' x& Z( h; O2 D3 J5 }6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;

- p3 F5 {" @3 L- s# q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。
+ @* F8 Z7 W4 }如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
