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

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758... ; If you haven't, add 1757.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born;

输入了生日，加加减减一圈，最后得出生日，毫无意义。
& o' A; g2 U+ A如果不问5和6，也能算出生日，我佩服你。
