Dinner Mathematics
I love Maths, and this trick is pretty cool. Don't cheat by reading the
solution before you work it out, because you're only ruining it for yourself.
This is really quick, should take less than a minute to work it out as you read.
1. Firstly, pick the number of times a week that you'd like to have dinner out (try more than once, but less than ten times).
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5 (for Sunday)
4. Multiply by 50 (you may need a calculator for this)
5. If you've already had your birthday this year, add 1756 ... if you haven't, add 1755
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
7. You should end up with a three digit number ...

Albert Einstein's Riddle.
I love puzzles, and apparently only the top 2% of intelligent people in the
world can solve this one; mostly (I think) because it needs lots of perseverance
to crack it instead of lots of brains - there are no tricks, just pure logic.
Good luck!

My main goal in life is to be a doctor.
Everyone who's been around me more than 5 minutes usually finds out this fact. As such,
they usually send me medical related articles, etc. This clipping is a
flow-chart from the British Medical Journal (BMJ), vol. 331, issue 7531, page
1529.
