CHOCOLATE MATHEMATICS


This is pretty neat how it works out.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute.......
Work this out as you read. You'll appreciate a calculator! 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. (try for 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 1751.... If you haven't, add 1750 ..........





6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.




7. 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!!!!!)

My ending number was 525...I entered 5 for the times per week I'd eat chocolate and yes, I'm 25
That was very, very cool! :rainbow: :eye&mouth

OK I get it
- but it only works if you caluclated it in 2001. If you do it for 2002 you need to adjust the 1750 to 1751 and the 1751 to 1752. Then it WORKS!

I was just gonna say, I've heard this, but it only works for 2001.

Ah well, out with the old year, in with the new!
