Here is a strange little puzzle, which
has the same answer, independent Of
the fact that no two people solving the
puzzle were born the same year and
consequently use the same figures.
Write down the figures Of the year you

four. Add your age at next birth

wise your age at your last birthday.
Multiply the result By 1000 and from
this deduct 8SS. .428. Substitute for the
figures corresponding letters Of the al

result Is Chinese table delicacy
