YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS


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, it's 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

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

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 ....
If you haven't, add 1755.

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 (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK!

Worked for me!

Wish we'd had chocolate math when I was in school!

It worked. Now, can I have twice that much chocolate and stay the same age?

I know there is a mathmatical reason for this to work out but it is still cool. Luckily weight is not factored in to anything because I don't admit that even to myself. If I did, I would not be taking chocolate quizzes.

Fun!!

Now here's my question -- who has all the extra time to come up with something like this???!!!!???
