# Also uses a clever trick to make remainder act like modulo for negative numbers presented by StackOverflow user polygenelubricants
# here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3417183/modulo-of-negative-numbers/3417598#3417598
# You can see the difference between columns labeled Excel:(b-a)%3 and PS:(b-a)%3 column

pohatu / Get-DaysLeft
Created September 4, 2013 19:15
Get-DaysLeft will tell you how many days you have left to live for various life expectancies. 100 is a nice round number. 82 is a good long life. 76 is the current life expectancy for the US. 65 is not uncommon.
$today = (Get-Date)
$bday = $(
$DOB = Read-Host "What is your birthday?"
if ($DOB){ $(get-date ($DOB)) }else{$(get-date)} #Default to today to avoid errors when nothing is entered.
)
write-host "You were born on $($bday.ToLongDateSTring())."
write-host "You have lived $(($today - $bday).Days) days."
100,82,76,65|%{ write-host "If you live to be $_ years old, then you have"(( $bday.AddYears($_) ) - $today).Days "days left to live."}
Write-Host "Make the most of them!"

# Problem:
# In a country in which people only want boys every family continues to have children until they have a boy.
# If they have a girl, they have another child. If they have a boy, they stop.
# What is the proportion of boys to girls in the country?
