[1]  The age from phone number

To tell the age of anyone, ask him to write down last four digits of a telephone number. Suppose the four digits are 8231. Let him conceive a new four digit number by placing the above digits in a new order, say 2318. Now, subtract the smaller number from the bigger one. In this case the result is 5913.

Add all the digits i.e. 5 + 9 + 1 + 3 = 18 = 1 + 8 = 9

Add sixteen to the result i.e. 9 + 16 = 25

Now ask the person to add this number to his birth year. i.e. 1945 + 25 = 1970

Now ask himabout the final result. You can tell his birth year by subtracting 25 from the final result i.e. 1970 - 25 = 1945
