Don't tell me your age---but the following math works!

" |9 U- W' N. @$ UDon't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway---but your waiter may know!

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。
' W4 i/ ^3 S" p1 y输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
9 Z( A3 E5 A* W5 r# c) {+ y0 i9 J如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
