Your Shoes Can Tell Your Age! Don't know why it works but it does... Your shoes can tell you your age - fun ! I don't know how this works but it does! Who thinks this stuff up? This is mind boggling! Your shoes can tell you your age; try this and see:
1. Take your shoe size.(only whole sizes)
2. Multiply it by 5.
3. Add 50.
4. Multiply by 20 ....
5. Add 1013 if you have NOT had a birthday yet ---
and add 1014 if you already had a birthday this year..
6. Subtract the year you were born.
The first digit is your shoe size, while the last 2 digits are your age.

I missed the 6th step the first time I tried this. When I finally followed the directions it worked, but it takes the first two digits to give me my shoe size. Fun!

It worked for me, and I tried 3 different shoe sizes, but my age stayed the same.

I think that it is one of those things that will only work this year with those numbers. Next year it will only work with 1014 and 1015.

Yep- simple math, people! 'Disguised to look like magic.
Next time your teenager yells, "why do I have to learn that? When will I ever use that?!" remind them that those who do not understand math and/or science are doomed to be gullable and even believe in magic to explain what they can't wrap their little heads around...

if Y is shoe size & Z is the year you were born:
your age = 2014 - Z (the year you had your last birthday) OR
your age = 2013 - Z (born after today's date)
so, (5Y + 50)20 + 1014{or 1013} - Z = 100 times your shoe size + your age
which evaluates to: 100Y + 1000 + 1014{or 1013} - Z = 100 times your shoe size + your age
which evaluates to: 100Y + 2014{or 2013} - Z = 100 times your shoe size + your age
which evaluates to: 100 times your shoe size + your age = 100 times your shoe size + your age
first 2 digits will be age, next 1 or 2 will be shoe size, works for ages 10-99
