FInding Age of a person

A game to find out a person's age and how many coins they are carrying.

• 
  
  Ask someone to double their age (either mentally or on paper) but, obviously, they must not tell you.
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  Then to add 5 and multiply by 50.
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  Finally, they must add the number of coins they have on them.   If they do not have any, nothing is added.
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  They then tell you the final answer.
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  Now all you have to do is take away 250.  The first two digits of the answer you are left with are the persons age and the last two the number of coins in their possession.
  
  
  

This works unless they are carrying over 100 loose coins.

Example -   25 x 2 = 50 + 5 = 55 x 50 = 2750 + 6 = 2756

                     2756 - 250 = 2506

If you made the answer 5,000 (as 99% of people do) then try again!

Weekend Getaway In La Jolla

Translated, La Jolla means "the jewel", which is an  apt name for a splendid and beautiful town full of
blue water.  One of California's best oceanside  towns, La Jolla is also home to many of the best
beaches in the state.

When you visit, you'll notice that there are many things to do.  If your looking for something to do,
here are 5 great things to occupy your time:
1.  Beaches - When you hear that San Diego has great beaches, it's the truth.  La Jolla Cave,
La Jolla Shores, and Windansea are the best in San Diego, and possibly even the state.
2.  Birch Aquarium - Although it's a small aquarium, it's packed with a lot of interesting
stuff and best of all - it won't wear you out.
3.  La Jolla Playhouse - This theater  company is highly known around the world.
4.  Walking tour - Hike Bike Kayak will offer you a splendid one hour tour that focuses
on the beauty and splendor of the La Jolla Coast and the history of the city.  
5.  Kayaking - The Hike Bike Kayak company also offers a tour of the La Jolla sea caves,
with no experience required.

A weekend trip to La Jolla is an excellent time to enjoy a leisurely brunch.  The Cottage serves
great cruisine in a beach bungalow atmosphere, while the Marine Room at the Sea Lodge was voted
the best Sunday brunch in the area several times in a row.  If your looking for a simple breakfast, with great views and few tourists, follow Coast Blvd. to the Goldfish Point Cafe.

For a getaway for the weekend, La Jolla is a hard place to beat.  There's plenty to do here, with
the beaches in the summer.  If you visit on hot days, you'll spend a majority of your time on
the beaches - and loving every minute of it.
