    1, Pick a number from 1 to 9.
    2. Multiply that number by 2.
    3. Then add 5.
    4. Then multiply your number by 50.
    5. Add 1,768 if your birthday is this year, if next year add 1,769.
    6. Subtract the year of your birth"eg,1957".
    7, You should be left with 3 numbers the 1st number will be the number you started with the other 2 will be your age. Hopefully :)

    Blimey, I'm over 2000 years old. I can still remember Boudicca quite vividly and that Battle down at Hastings was a killer!

    OK I know some people are bad at understanding so I'll make it easy,
    I was born in 1950 and my age is 69 so watch. or is it like knocking a nail in a knot?

    Pick a number from 1 to 9. I pick 5.
    multiply by 2 =10.
    Add 5 = 15.
    Multiply by 50 = 750
    My next birthday is next year so I add 1769 = 2519.
    Take away the year of my birth 1950 = 569.
    The 1st number is what I started with number 5 the last 2 numbers is my age 69.
