Here is a fun trick I got from a friend on my mail today. It was in Swedish so I have to try to translate it in good English. Please bare with me if the grammar and spelling isn't so good

1. Pick a number on how many days in a week you'd like to have sex. (from 1-7 that is)
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
3 Multiply that number with 2
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
< 3 Add 5 to that number
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
< 4 Multiply the number with 50. I wait while you get your calculator
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
< 5 If you already have had your birthday this year add 1749. If you haven�t add 1748.
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
< 6 Now you take the number minus the year you were born (four digits)
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
< Look below
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
< You should now have three digits
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
<
< The first one is how many times you�d like to have sex in a week
<
<
<
< The next two digits is your age�
<
<
<
< Strange huh?
<
<
< This only works this year (1999)so spread it around to as many as you know..

Cool! Days in a week you'd like to have sex can be more than 7, actually...
Ambro2000 posted 06-01-99 09:39 AM ET
How can you have sex more than 7 days a week?
Atleast here in Sweden we only have 7 days in a week

Ah Now i see it! The bottom line should be:
The first one is how many days in a week you'd like to have sex
sorry for the confusion...

Well, what number did everyone get?
MikeH II posted 06-01-99 11:11 AM ET
723. Correct, how many men don't want to have sex 7 days a week?
Saras posted 06-01-99 11:21 AM ET
721

What Saras means is you can have any x- I mean, 0 works, and so does 9.
How it works (x=the number you chose):
The first four steps merely get 250 (which is 5*50) + 100*x. Then, add 1749, and 250+1749=1999. Subtract out your year of birth, and you end up with your age. Meanwhile, nobody did anything to that 100*x, so that just hangs out on the end. So, without even going through the process, you can say that the number you get is equal to 100*x+age. So somebody wanting sex -3 times a week and being 300 years old would come out to 0.
