Seth, It didn't work for me, I picked zero times. But, it will work for 10 times, or 100 times, or any number for that matter. Timbo

Seth, the game you gave was fun. It did get my age, but I noticed it did not correctly calculate everybody's age ! My great grandfather, who might be 101 years old, for instance, would be given the wrong information ! Regarding some insights into the game, for those who might be interested: 1) If you use 0-7 for the days of the week, you end up with the same results, as long as you are less than 100 years old. 2) Because of # 1, and the fact that the days per week is always in the third space to the left in the final answer, the first four steps in the game appear to serve to put the days picked in the third place to the left, hence the multiplying by 50. 3) Because of 1 & 2 being 100+ years old also has the 1 in the same place as the days dining out, so being 100 years or older ruins the game. For instance, if you are 100 years old and born in Dec 1896, and like to go out 7 times per week, you would have come up with 801 as your answer. You would have been 101 years old and, but the 1 and the 7 are both in the third place to the left, so you come up with 8 instead of the desired 7. I might also add that the year the game is played can be adjusted, if I'm not mistaken, by adding the appropriate number to 1746 and 1747. Next year, for instance, the numbers to use would be 1747 and 1748. You can even play this game past the year 2000. VALUESPEC
