Well, that's why it's in the comedy section!
No, I really found it interesting.
Have you guys figured out how it works?
I didn't feel like breaking it down, but I felt someone here might break it down and see why it works.
Hmm I'm no genius of math but lemme get this partialy handled.
If we use lets say "1" to not alter the equation:
x*2+5*50+1763=2113 <- If you noticed it's similar of the century we live but +100 years, century that aids on the substraction of your birth year later.
2013+100=2_1_13
So far so good, then it says that you have to substract your age to that total, the year you where born.
Mine is actually 1985
If I substracted 2113-1985=28
Duh it's fairly easy you say. But you missed the month, because I'm actually 27. The point made from peregrinus.
Lets now check how that divination makes the evident last number of my cellphone accurate:
It will only alter it by multyplying it X*2+5*50+1763 (Why that numbers?), as you see it is a fancy way of putting a susbtraction that make it to you clear.
Lets use all the possible combinations of the last digit of any cell phone 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 it's arithmetic no some complicated shit. Just notice the patterns.
0*2+5*50+1763=2013 (0 in the hundredths position)
1*2+5*50+1763=2113 (1 in the hundredths position)
2*2+5*50+1763=2213 (2 in the hundredths position)
3*2+5*50+1763=2313 (3 in the hundredths position)
4*2+5*50+1763=2413 (4 in the hundredths position)
5*2+5*50+1763=2513 (5 in the hundredths position)
6*2+5*50+1763=2613 (6 in the hundredths position)
7*2+5*50+1763=2713 (7 in the hundredths position)
8*2+5*50+1763=2813 (8 in the hundredths position)
9*2+5*50+1763=2913 (9 in the hundredths position)
The same year does not move and you will see the +100 appearing all over.
So let's extract the important bit of the equations:
0*2+5*50=250 (+100)
1*2+5*50=350 (+100)
2*2+5*50=450 (+100)
3*2+5*50=550 (+100)
4*2+5*50=650 (+100)
5*2+5*50=750 (+100)
6*2+5*50=850 (+100)
7*2+5*50=950 (+100)
8*2+5*50=1050 (+100)
9*2+5*50=1150 (+100)
So lets get hands on again:
Real number of mine is 8.
So this give me 8*2+5*50+1763=2_1_13---"8", place it in the hundreds because it was added 1_7_63
So we have this number:
2813 then we have to remove 1985 (birth year):
2813-1985=_8_28
So that digit doesnt chance because it gets added just +100 to each thoushand you see. and in the end it gets susbtracted.
I think I almost got it clear, but my neurons did not allow the explanation correctly flows.
