For Chocolate Lovers....

Chocolate maths

Try this it works, It only takes a minute.

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.

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 funny.

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 1752....

If you haven't, add 1751..........

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!!!

For real chocaholics, question one should read 'divide the number of times you'd like chocolate each week by 10'.

Simpler one:

Take the number of times you like to have chocolate in a week (1-9).

Multiply by 100.

Add on your age.

The first digit is the original number, and the second two are your age!

The method in the original post is just doing the same thing, but in a more roundabout way :rolleyes:

Of course it is, that's why it's more fun

Isn't it quicker to ask "What's your age?"

Dave-T · Post by **Dave-T** » Sat Jul 20, 2002 7:53 am
