This document contains instructions for a mathematical exercise that is purported to surprisingly reveal personal information about the reader. It instructs the reader to: 1) Choose how many times per week they would like to go out for dinner, 2) Multiply that number by 2 and add 5, 3) Multiply the result by 50 and add either 1756 or 1755 depending on if their birthday has passed this year, and 4) Subtract the year they were born. It claims the final 3-digit number will have the dinner frequency as the first digit and their actual age as the last two digits, but only for the year 2006.
