This is amazing... I tried it with my own age, and the ages of several people I know, and it worked every time!!

A good-at-math friend of mine explained it. Sorry, it's in French and I don't have the skill to translate it. His point is that it only works for the year 2017, and in 2018 only for those who haven't had their birthdays yet.
In my friend's case, since he was born on 16 March 1952, after 16 March 2018, he'll have to use the 2nd formula: 78 - age + 40 (118 - age).
Quote: | Pour le truc mathématique, c'est assez simple, mais ça marche pour 2017, à la limite pour 2018 dans le cas de ceux qui n'ont pas encore eu leur anniversaire en 2018.
77 - âge + 40 est évidemment égal à 77 + 40 - âge et donc à 117 - âge
Si on faît 117 - âge (ou n'importe quel nombre finissant par 17 (dont bien évidemment 2017) - âge, on obtient forcément un nombre dont les deux derniers chiffres correspondent à l'année de naissance.
Maintenant, on est en 2018. Pour que ça marche maintenant, il faut que l'on change la formule comme suit par exemple 78 - âge + 40 (118 - âge).
Dans mon cas (né le 16 mars 1952, j'ai eu 65 ans le 16 mars 2017 et en aurai 66 le 16 mars 2018), avec la 1ère formule on obtient 117 - 65 = 52
Après le 16 mars 2018, il faudra prendre la 2e formule (118 - âge) |
All that makes my head swim, but then I never was good at maths.  _________________ My CoS Awards  |

10 Road Signs That Will Make You Do A Double Take
http://www.lifebuzz.com/signs-funny/?p=1&a=17&utm_source=ys2&utm_content=34155374902&utm_medium=NEWS_US&utm_campaign=LFB-US-DKT-YAH-FunnySigns
#1. Drop It Like It's Hot
Almost every sign has a functional purpose. They tell you the speed limit or your favorite restaurant's drink specials. But there are some signs out there that leave you giggling and wondering what the motivation behind the sign was. Some even look they're in the wrong place, like this one!
This sign is actually pretty creative and it's sure to get some laughs from the people passing by. We wonder if the church people knew of the man who sings the song and that he's a bit of a known sinner, well, according to them, at least. This sign has a very serious message, just like the next one on our list.
#2. Time To Reevaluate Your Life
This is surely one way to bring up the age-old discussion about what happens after we die. This sign will make anyone thinking about trespassing reevaluate their decisions. Maybe they'll go home and think about their life. Even if they don't, the sign's still there for some giggles, but not as much as this next one.
#3. Longer Recovery Time
It's the general consensus that Mondays tend to be the hardest day of the week, and every time the day approaches, we wish the weekends were longer. Well, this sign agrees with all of you and has decided to extend the weekend recovery time. No one would ever get anything done if weekends were extended like this. If you laughed at this sign, check out the next one!
#4. Learn From Their Mistakes
What makes this sign so funny is the fact that it's at the dry cleaners. It's one of those blatantly obvious signs, like "the coffee is hot." Even though it's pretty obvious what they mean, it's still an extremely unusual sign. At least it's not offensive (or is it?) like the sign in our next image is.
#5. What Are You Saying?
People refer to things as "the new black" all of the time. This sign is definitely going to draw a lot of attention because the person who created it turned the well-known phrase into something entirely different. This sign isn't just talking about colors, it's talking about humans! Do you think it's offensive? Think about that and check out the next image!
#6. Be Large And Shout
This sign gives great instructions on how to handle a mountain lion encounter, but it's not exactly comforting. It includes everything you need, except how to actually fight back if a lion attacks. This sign is no joke, unlike the next sign, so make sure you pay close attention to the advice!
#7. Got The Funny?
You would think that this was a clever way to get people to head into a bar downtown, but it's actually a sign in front of a gas station in Seattle. Sometimes people just want to put in a little extra effort in to make someone smile. If you thought this sign was funny, then you're sure to think the next ones is funny, too!
#8. Don't Update While Crossing The Street
Hayward, a suburb of San Francisco, wasn't exactly trying to be funny when they put up this new sign. It literally is dangerous to have your head stuck in the phone while you're trying to cross the street. People aren't expecting to see a sign like this, so it might actually work. This next sign probably doesn't work as well.
#9. Drink Up, Boys
Pinterest
These signs not only make us laugh, they serve as a reminder to not take things so seriously, as well. That Wendy's sign is certainly worth a second look because whoever put it up definitely wanted to make people laugh. Check out this next sign, which is pretty funny, but definitely not on purpose.
#10. Too Many Fields And No Opportunities
When you enter Iowa, they welcome you with a sign that offers "fields of opportunities," but perhaps what they really meant to offer was just fields, considering there are way more fields than actual opportunities. Unless you're looking for a farming opportunity, of course! If that's the case, than you're on the right path! _________________ My CoS Awards  |

A furry cute fishmonger! Pet cat minds a seafood stall while donning an imperial costume in Vietnam
Chó the pet cat was taken to the market by his owner after being invited by the seafood stall in Hai Phong
The three-year-old feline enjoys the company of people and likes posing for pictures, his owner said
Adorable photos which appear to show Chó selling fish in an emperor costume have gone viral
The funny thing is that "chó" means "dog" in Vietnamese!
