A Great Puzzler
Try this yourself, then use it to WOW any audience.
Choose your favorite number from 1 to 100. Double it, then add 5. Now multiply by 50, then add 1,759. If you have had your birthday already in 2010, happy birthday, and add 1 to the total. Subtract the year you were born.
Your answer begins with your favorite number, followed by your age.
