Any multiple of $\"+5+\"$ must end in $\"+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "or $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "The number preceding any multiple of $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "must end in $\"+4+\"$ or $\"+9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Any number ending in $\"+9+\"$ cannot be
\n" ); document.write( "a multiple of $\"+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, this year must end in $\"+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+24+=+3%2A8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next year will be $\"+25+=+5%2A5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "This must be the right choice, since
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2A8+=+32+\"$ and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+33+\"$ is not a multiple of $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5%2A8+=+40+\"$ -too old
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In $\"+6+\"$ years you will be $\"+24+%2B+6+=+30+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
