Did it frighten you, how we kissed when we danced on the light up floor?

The age thing was exactly right  With the birthday day and month were in the wrong order. |

The age thing was exactly right With the birthday day and month were in the wrong order. In  the order is the exact opposite from how it is in our countries. |

ofc, he guesses it right, you tell him your age (your birthday, whatever), he tells it back to you and you're like "OMG HE GUESSED IT"  |

| What we do
(in mathematic notation)
| Comment
| Firstly pick the number
from 1-10
| x | (we'll take it
as some kind of equation)
| Now multiply this number
by 2
| 2x |
| Now add 5
| 2x+5
| | Multiply your current
number by 50
| 100x+250 |
| Now add 1764
| 100x+2014 | (we'll assume that we're watching it in 2014 and we've already had our birthday)
| Now take the four-year digit year of which you were born
| 100x+2014-y | y = year of birth
2014-y actually EQUALS your age (for me, 2014-1993=21)
|
And then he tells that we should have a 3-digit number by now. The first digit should be the number you chose at the beginning - and it really is as it is 100x (if you took 5, then by the end you would have 500+your age, and your first digit would be 5) The next two digits are your age - which equals 2014 minus year of your birth. So it's all about mathematics. |
