I saw this on the Ohio Husky Musky board and thought I'd share it with y'all (God and Slamr willing!).
YOUR AGE BY MUSKIE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute....... Work this out as you read..

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is
not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like
to have caught a muskie. (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)

3. Add 5. (for Sunday)

4.. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the
calculator.................

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1754....

If you haven't, add 1753 ......

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.




You should have a three digit number .
The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times
you want to have caught a muskie each week).




The next two numbers are .........
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2004) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND
WHILE IT LASTS

And next year, add 1755 or 1754 depending on your birthday or not when you do it, it will work for only that year...

the year after that, add 1756 or 1755 and it will work again...

Hmmm...patterns anyone?

My kids at school find these intriguing...
