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;  

8 W8 J- V; h- U; r3 k6 J+ M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。
8 `2 {* s$ r3 _0 M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。
