This whole thing reminds me of another FT'ers post awhile back about getting thru immigration in Oz:
Immigration: Do you have a criminal history? FT'er: Is it still required? Immigration: *stamps passport and laughs* Welcome to Australia. :D |
Doesn't work

Any numeric answer you give is right in some number system. If you're 32, answer 20. That's 32 in hexadecimal.

That would work if you didn't have to say the number.

I'd definitely push back on that one. This is getting beyond stupid.

Is that Letterman? I've heard it so often associated with various things like:
Junior level classes at Nebraska. (I went to Colorado) How a guy at work gambled away his summer salary. How to explain negative numbers. that I didn't know who thought of it first. Thanks!! Mike |

If checking ID names against the boarding pass is for the airline's revenue protection versus safety, why would he care how old I was. .

Old cops' trick much used by interrogators, La Migra and doormen in saloons over-run by under 21s to check for folks carrying someone eelse's ID. If it's your ID, you'll voice amatching age quickly. With that of a girl in the next dorm, the response may not flow as quaickl. Also woks when the last name on the ID is Jones, and you reply with a heavy Spanish accent.
