In comment 2, jlow points out that the numbers change each year. You would need to use 1756 and 1757.

Let’s say you pick 2. 2 * 2 = 4, +5 = 9, *50 = 450, +1757 = 2207, -1980 = 227. You chose 2, so that’s the first number and the next two numbers are your age.

Could I?!? Nope. I’m analytical - not creative.

So could you come up with another set of numbers that do the same thing (i.e. they show the number you chose at the beginning on the front?)

It’s so simple…

All the numbers are just to confuse you and make it seem magical. Obviously 2006 minus your birth year always equals your age, so they are just hiding that with bigger numbers.

The x2 and +5 make is so it’s always an odd number, but this really doesn’t matter. It’s the 1755 and 1756 that really do the real work. These are the numbers that are modified to ensure the final number will work out. 10 years ago when this was going around, they were 1745 and 1756.

Make sense?

I’m not sure how the equation works either, but I sure like chocolate
