Well, we hate to take the fun out of this but here's how it works.

Step 1. Put in any number between 1 and 10. Could be the number times you would like to have chocolate in a week, number of times you would like to have sex, number of sessions you go to, anything. Call it N.

Step 2. Now you have 2N

Step 3. Now you have 2N + 5

Step 4. Now you have 100N + 250

Step 5. Now you have 100N + 2005 (or 2004 if you haven't had your B'day)

Step 6. Now you have 100N + 2005 minus year you were born which is 100N + your age

So, unless your 100 years old, this appears as NXY where XY is your age.

Not so mysterious, is it.
