Does anyone know that if you took a number(any),multiplied it by two,added five,multiplied it by fifty then added 1755 if you have not yet had your birthday this year and 1756 if you already have.To your answer subtract the year you were born.....In your answer,the two digits to your right represent your age,while those to your left represent the number that you chose?What do you guys think??

Number you chose: N (It can't be any number, it has to be a positive integer)
Multiply it by two. Add five. Multiply the whole thing by 50
50(2*N+5) = 100N + 250
100N + 250 + 1756 [if your birthday passed]
= 100N + 2006
100N + 250 + 1755 [if your birthday didn't pass yet]
= 100N + 2005
As long as you have a two digit age subtracting your birth year from 2006 or 2005 will yield a two-digit number. Multiplying N by 100 puts in in the form N00 (if N=123 then 100N = 12300)
This will not work if you are 100 years old or above.
