how come I love shit like this?  I just laugh and laugh when it works out, though the whole time I was thinking, at the bottom it's going to say, "And the answer is, you're a dumb ass git for sticking with this lame 'puzzle'"
 
 Which is probably correct, I fully admit.
 
 But it worked!

 It didn't work for me... well, the number of times a week didn't work.. the calculation did get my age right.   :cool:

Ohhhh, my bad. I just did it again.. and it did match up. I picked 6 times a week and my birth year is 1973.. in the month of August. So I got 630... so yeah, it does work.   :cool:

thanks I did, always go w/your first instinct, for some reason I changed it as I was thinking it aligned somewhat with being left-wing (little mnemonic device that doesn't work).

Would that mean you think those who are more logical (left-brained, but your mistake would have them as right-brained) are more naturally right-wingers?
