Title: Your shoes can tell your age
Post by: JuST Peter on November 11, 2013, 06:55:53 PM
Your shoes can tell your age - grab your calculator first! 
 
This is strange, and....the damn thing actually works!! !!!!
 
Your shoes can tell you your age, try this and see:
1. Take your shoe size.(only whole sizes)
2. Multiply it by 5.
 3. Add 50.
 4. Multiply by 20 ..
 5. Add 1013.
 6. Subtract the year you were born?

   The first digit/s is your shoe size, while the last 2 digits are your age..
 
 TRY IT? YOU WILL BE amazed!!

It's one of several circular arithmetic puzzles.  It's a very clever number manipulation, but you told the equation your age when you entered your DOB.  No need to look anxiously over your shoulder!    :grin

No one else thought it odd that step 5 involved the number "13"?  The puzzle usually comes out in November when 83% of people have already had their birthday (except Jesus, but he didn't have the internet).
