YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat. I’ve seen it a few times in email chains, but it’s fun to do and doesn’t take too much time. I have seen some people claim to get incorrect results, but it worked for me.
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…
And, if you haven’t, then add 1758.
6. Now subtract the four-digit year that you were born.
You should now 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!!!!!)
