The Living Force
This mathematical trick will surprise you. With its solution you will receive a three-digit number that reveals who you are number imagined, but the number of your years.

Very simple math, you will come to very interesting results: this task will "guess" how old you are.



Select any number from 1 to 10

Multiply by the number 2

The result of adding 5

Multiply it by 50

If you have already celebrated a birthday this year, the findings add 1765, and if you have not, add 1764.

From the results subtract the year of your birth.

You get the result?

You will receive a three-digit number, the first digit will show the number you have selected , and the other two of your current year.
 
I'll add some space before the answer to how it works, in case someone wants to wait before reading it:










The exact information about one's age is added in the last two steps. You change the number by 1 depending on your birthday, and then you put your year of birth (age!) into the number.

The number chosen in the beginning is multiplied by 100 (becoming the third digit) and that's the only role it plays.

So, basically, the cleverness is all in the instructions - something to look for with tricks like these in general.
 
It would work for anyone less than 100 years old. After 100, one is too old and the magic is gone. ;)
