homefire Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 How does this work ? It only missed my age by 1900 years ! LOL 77 Beers Minus your Age. Add 40 Bucks This should be when your were born. 77 beers minus your age plus 40 bucks should be when you were born. Try it and share if it works. 77 beers minus your age plus 40 bucks should be when you were born. Try it and share if it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire thing mixes apples & oranges, n the way I did it I'm still off by 15.. Plus my beers weigh 16 oz, which is kewl with me.. 77 x 16 = 1232 whatevers.. Subtract your age, let's say 50 = 1182.. Add $40 in nickles (800) = 1982.. Needs to be / should be 1967.. I'm not trying metric.. And does Bucks really mean money n not male deer..?

Old Tom Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I haven't gotten there yet but when I do I'll let you know if it comes out right. I'm up to 10 beers and all feels pretty good right now. Old Tom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tom Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I think that I drank too many beers figuring this one out. I come up one year off in calculation. I'm 83 years old born in 1933. What am I doing wrong? Old Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tom Because this math problem doesn't take the months of the year into account, you have to use the age you will be at the end of the present year, which for you is the last day of the year, hince you will be 84 in this math quiz. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was never too good at math in school but that explains the one year difference. Now I'll go back to my drinking. Gonna start back at one and go to seventy seven again, this is fun.
