You end up with 100x + 2003/4 subtracting the year you were born will obviously give your age and as long as you don't pick 10+ you will always end up with a 3 digit number.

Didn't work for me. Perhaps doing it in my head was not the best course of action.

There are plenty of these things lying around, mathamaticians with too much spare time I guess :S

Even with a quick look at the numbers and the insructions you should be able to see that your results is "lead" along a certain path.
