Take your age and multiply it by two;
add five; multiply by 50; subtract 365;
add the loose change in your pocket
(under 1 dollar); then add 115. The
first two figures in the answer will
be your age, and the last two figures
will be the change in your pocket.
Thomas E. Oetzel
In 1824, Andrew Jackson received more popular votes than John Adams, yet lost the election. The vote was so close that neither candidate received a majority of the electoral votes. The decision then went to the House of Representatives, which elected Adams.
