Your age by Chocolate Math

trauben · 05-05-2009, 11:35 AM

I did a search and didn't find this posted, and if some of you got this in email, I apologize, but I found it neat (that and I'm bored).

I know there's a formula to these, but still it's interesting that it turns out to be correct.

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!

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 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758.

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 (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

In doing a search to see if this was posted? I searched the word "chocolate" and found some cool recipes.

Now I'm really in trouble!

I got this in an email a few weeks back and it was spot on.
