Don't tell me your age---but the following math works!

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway---but your waiter may know!

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;  

0 q+ Y' z1 O. g, U% w: t& \
/ U/ V; S0 q- U, N/ X( h无聊，5和6都是问生日的，和一开始的“Don't tell me your age”自相矛盾。
输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
