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.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

* `# H, e2 L7 f: R

( ^7 L3 A1 M" |$ k/ Y输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
