WEIRD!: Your Shoe-Size Can Tell Your Age!!! Try This Formula And See...

not weird, it's math, and it it doesn't matter what size you use, because the least step is where you get your age from

Is it me, or do cocky, preppy math experts always confuse things for the rest of us...like as if they're tryng to protect some kind of ancient, esoteric knowledge that they want to keep the rest of us DOWN with???...

Elitists...the lot of them!

Cute. I love these complex formulas that tell your age and such.

I came to the number 334. I am 34, but my shoe size is not 3. Fail.

did you subtract that last number?

It didn't work :(

Weird and cool, worked for me.

I love these things! Worked for me, too.

If you use 1 instead of your shoe size, it comes up to 2012' then minus the year comes of course your age.

You needs to readjust your maths

Lol I know was trying to toggle on iPad I messed it all up lol

it almost got my shoe size right 10 instead of 10.5 and it says I'm 93...not even close

Thanks, friends!

I have to repeat this: I did not come-up with the formula! I haven't even trid it neither; and as for the last line in the thread-opener that is written in "Bold", I didn't write that—I just copied it from off the sheet I was given.

DUTCH OP.

Okay, I apologize because I did the math wrong. It does work. However, it's still deceptively worded.

"Shoe size" is irrelevant. This works with whatever number you plug in. The formula is rigged so that the first two digits will always be the digits you started with.

The last two are rigged as well. The first three steps (multiply by 5, add 50, multiply by 20), will always ensure that you have a number that ends in 00. So when you add 1012, the number will always end in 12. So when you subtract the year you were born, you always get your age for the last two digits.

So if you were born in 1978...

2112-1978=134
3012-1978=1034
2012-1978=34

There's nothing esoteric or magical. It's just the only way it could work.

It didn't work for me. It will be right in about 2 weeks. So, on Jan 1 it will be wrong for most of the year again. Nice find anyway.

If I have to figure in the year I was born then my show size has nothing to do with it.

It's not just you. Most people on this site are dumb.

You don't have to be a cocky, preppy, math expert to know that this is a parlour trick. What will step 5 be next year? 1013. If you used last year's step 5, 1011, then the formula would be wrong for this year.

You too, can invent a formula to mystify folks that don't think quickly.

43 * 5 + 50 *20 + 1012 - 1988

= 4324

And its true WTF

maths are awesome

If you did that last year and used 11, you would get the same result, next year change that to 13, get the point?

Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!!!!!!! I wonder what shoe size Trinity is???!!!...

Any guesses???...

foot size plus odor = iq

doesn't seem to work for half sizes, but does for full sizes

When u come up with a wrong answer that means your shoe size is with a (0.5) or half. So u take away 5 from the middle number and add to ur shoe size as . 5 then u get ur shoe size and ur age. There is no way to get it wrong and when adding say 1012 the last 2 digits shld be the current year

close
my age number was off by 1

It should not be off by 1 u should get the right answer. Make sure u add 1013 cos we are in 2013

it is wrong!! my shoe sixe is 8 and I am 13 but the thingy tells me I am 12... _-_

You need to add 1,013, because I was 1 year short

My shoe size is 1034, FAIL!

Off by 2 years.

Didnt work.

Says im 86.

Im not 86.



Doesnt seem to work well on half shoe sizes (8.5, 9.5, 10.5) etc.
