Your age by chocolate maths




This is pretty cool.
 
 

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 wastes 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 (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 1754...
 
 
If you haven't, add 1753.
   

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 (2004) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

this will still work any year if you add (3) for example to your final number eg: 2004 + 3 2007
