Age calculation 

Here is a simple method of telling someone their age, the trick is not difficult to do or solve, but it's quick and very fun!.

1) Give a calculator (or pen & paper) to the volunteer.
2) Mentally estimate their age but don't tell them.
3) Ask them to enter their age into the calculator (without you seeing of course).
4) Tell them that "as there are 12 months in the year, add 12 to their age".
5) Say that "as there are 7 days in a week, and 52 weeks in a year, add 752 to the number already in the calculator".
6) Ask them to tell you the last digit.
7) All you do is subtract 4 from this number and that is the last digit of their age.
8) If the number they tell you is less than 4, just add 10 before you subtract the 4 (e.g. they say 3, you add 10 then take 3 = 9).
9) You have already estimated their age so just knowing the exact last digit is usually enough to accurately be able to tell them their age.

e.g. you think they look 23.

Their sum is 23+12+752=787, they tell you 7, you take off 4 which is 3, you mentally adjust their age down to 23 (i.e. they will not look either 13 or 33 so must be 23)

.

,

Age calculation (quick and easy)

1.  Multiply your age by 7
2.  Now multiply that product by 1443

What do you get? Your age repeats 3 times.
