CHOCOLATE MATHEMATICS
This is pretty neat how it works out.
This is cool 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!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.
1. First, 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 result is 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 (2002) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?
