Your Age by Chocolate Math

I got this in an e-mail and thought it was a bit of fun so I decided to share.

Your Age By Chocolate Math

This is pretty neat.

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!

 

1. First 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 1760 . . . If you haven't, add 1759.

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!

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2010) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Hope you enjoyed this little game. Have a great day!
