Forgive me if this has been posted already. I know there's some weird trick to this but I have yet to figure it out!
This is pretty neat.

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 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 1756 ....
If you haven't, add 1755.


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!!!!!)
 
OKAY...now that is just so WICKED COOL!!! :thumbsup2

And BINGO I got it right and I never get anything right. :goodvibes

BTW: loved it when you said "I'll wait while you get the calculator" :lmao:

:sunny:
 
Yes, I did have to get the calulator, I'm not a math wiz. :blush:

But it was right!!! Unbelievable, how is this accomplished!!?? Somebody figure it out. I'm not smart enough to, but I really want to know! :rotfl:
 
::yes:: What the ...?! It worked for both me and DH.

Thanks for sharing, very cool. :thumbsup2

This is actually a very simple algebra equation, but I won't get into it - I'll let you have your fun!!! :teeth:
