YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH


DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute....... Work this out as you read. Be sure you don't
read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of
time things, its fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have
chocolate. (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)



3. Add 5 (for Sunday)



4. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the Calculator..........



5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755....



If you haven't, add 1754 .....



6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.



You should have a three digit number



The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want
to have chocolate each week).



The next two numbers are .........



YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)



THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT
LASTS.

Someone emailed it to me, and being a chocoholic (unreformed) I just had to share it. It is a little scary. :nervous:

You lure me in with promises of chocolate, then you make me take a math quiz?!

That's just not right :mad: ;)

Base year razzle dazzle math. :D

Nothing spooky about it.

Actually quite fun!

Hidden in the trick is the actual subtraction of the current year from your birth year.

Cheers! :salute:
