It takes less than a minute.
Work this out as you read ....
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

1. First of all, pick the number from 1 to 10.......got it....carry on.












2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)















3. Add 5














4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator














5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757. If you haven't, add 1756.













6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number. The first digit of this was your original number.

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

...judging by your avatar...

Definitions of vitriol on the Web:

(H2SO4) a highly corrosive acid made from sulphur dioxide; widely used in the chemical industry


Definitions of brimstone on the Web:

an old name for sulphur



Definitions of "fire and brimstone" on the Web:

Fire and brimstone is a pejorative term used to describe a motif in Christian preaching which uses vivid descriptions of judgement, and the d@mnation to Hell of sinners forever to encourage repentance out of fear of divine wrath and punishment.

...Here endeth the lesson :devil: :sj:
