Silverbursted Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Just a little mind boggler just for fun. Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway - but the Guitar Gods will know! YOUR AGE BY Guitar God MATH DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those wastes of time things, but its fun. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to play your guitar (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759. If you haven't, add 1758. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number. The first digit of this was your original number (I.e., how many times you want to play your guitar each week). The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!) Does it work for you? If not, you probably need to take some remedial math. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeds Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Cool. I'll have to ask my son why this works. He's a true math wiz and can usually come up with a logical equation or explanation why this works. Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackHawk233 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 its because it adds up to a common number i think, then minuses the birthday from the mix... Kinda hard to explain but i see how it works... Still cool tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPguitarman Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Awesome, I'm not afraid to tell. My number is 747. "You're never to old to rock and roll if you're too young to die." And I'm way too young to die. Thanks for sharing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
