This post shows how you can determine your age by your shoe size. A friend on fb posted it on her wall so I tot I'd share it here. It's especially a usefull invention for PAs and MAs who cannot tell their correct age. Try it & see.
[color=#550000]1. Take your shoe size
2. Now multiply it by 5
3. Add 50
4. Multiply by 20
, 5. Now add 1011 (Last 2 digits in this number must be the 2 digits of the current year for it to be completely. Eg 1010 for 2010 and 1012 for 2012etc)
6. Subtract the year you were born.
The number you get will be your shoe size & your age. The first 2 digits are your shoe size & last 2 are your age. Am i right?[/color]


Please note question number 1 again, I thought we were calculating shoe size?

Missy_B:

I still find it interesting and wow-ful 

In that case, here's another one to wow you.

How to calculate your age using chocolate

1. How many times do you eat chocolate in a week? (More than 1 and less than 10, sorry)

2. Multiply that number by 2

3. Add 5

4. Multiply by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1762. Otherwise, add 1761.

6. Now, subtract your year of birth.

You should have a 3 digit number.  The first one is how many times you eat chocolate per week.  The other 2 are your age.

(Only works for the current year.  For next year, you have to add 1 to the 1762 and 1761)

Hi Niralanders!

Correct!

can someone help me, is this jazz?

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. D formula is true and so simple dat even a groundnut seller will get the answer. kUDOS to the person that came up with this bcoz i love maths too.

Dumbest formula ever!
When u knw d yr u were born (as d formula requires) y wld u go through d stupidity of add and subtracting crap?

Y not JUST SUBTRACT D YR U WERE BORN FROM D CURRENT YR?
.
I m so pissed with myself 4 trying out d DUMB A.SS formular!

**long hiss: . .

Stupidly funny,

The only thing here is that my year of birth is subtracted from this year to get my age. All the rigmarole is to confuse you.

If you want to use formula to calculate my age , then don't ask me for my date of birth.

Lol. Since I input my year of birth and shoe size in the equation, its no big deal giving dem bac to me. I tot dis was suppose to work like MAGIC

This is too cheap and childish; we did stuffs like this in my secondary school days!

As long as you have ur date of birth and the current year why won't you know your age?

Op are u in pry 1??

Also interesting. . . Accurate answer. 

Nice mathematics't workd for me.

AfricaFace:

scientific Missy B,  I ASK AGAIN,  HOW DID THIS ADDY UP
I and my twin sister (Though not identical) doesn't wear same shoe size. she wears 42(9) and i wear 39(6). So how does it add up, we are same age(year, month, week,day,hour,minute) ,  do you need numbers to answer my question. please get serious with your Life, this is no logic.

eh maram, while i agree that the poster is quite dim, you on the other hand are the proper dummy here. how your mama take born you and your twin sister for the same MINUTE?

it worked!! *jumping*

works tho

worked for me

Its just a brain teaser its not meant 4 people who dont know their age cause u need to know the yr u were born its fun anyway

This is a good formula, nice brain invention.
@OP
never mind those dummy-brain haters. your formula is interesting, i have used it to tease everyone around me and they were all amazed.

it worked!! *jumping*

Wao i got it :p8-)

I didn't know the HILTON'S had relatives on NAIRALAND. I'm sure they would be surprised too when they learn that not all biscuits come in wrappers. mmmmmttttttssssssssccccccchhhhhhhhheeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww

lol,

Gud calculatn, just tried it it wörke. Kip it up

Gud calculatn, just tried it it wörke. Kip it up

Nice formular

Missy_B: Very typical of Nairalanders!
One person says something, the others who lack the ability to think for themselves, like sheep, follow the man holding the crook and start to speak his language. 

The trick does not lie in the submission of your DOB - If it did, you'd still get an accurate answer if you provided your DOB and SS (shoe size) but changed the other figures, which is NOT the case.
The excellence of the 'magic' lies in knowing which numbers to pick and which arithmetic operation to apply.  So, yes, this is wow-ful. 

Sorry for humiliating the attempt at displaying smartness. 

I wonder when you'll every grow up to know that smugness is not the same as smartness.

If after doing all that wahala I still need the year of birth why not do a straight forward calculation then?

Tell me how to calculate a strangers age using only his shoe size.

If I know the year of birth, no need for the long story.

it didn't work for me so how do you do it

My thoughts exactly! Why go through this stress when I still need to supply DOB? Only useful if there is anyway I could know someone's age using only their shoe size.

If I already know the year I was born and the current year, why would I use my shoe size to calculate my age?
*Current year - birth year = age.*
