Your Age By Chocolate Math

[StickFigure]

This is pretty cool.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It take s 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 o riginal 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, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

That...was freaky.

To suggest that this is the only year it will work while accurate is slightly misleading since all that is required is a tweaking of the 1756/1755 numbers. Neat, though.

It wouldn't have worked for my grandfather. It would have added to the number of chocolates and taken a hundred from his age.

cute, but now I'm wanting to eat the kid's reeses peanut butter cup cereal! Can you believe they even package that garbage? I didn't buy it for them. I sent my stepson to the store and he came back with it. LOL.
