THIS WORKS; SO TRY IT AND DO NOT CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN TO BEGIN WITH!!!!

Can't believe how this works???

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE 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.

Go ahead

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. (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 1754....If you haven't, add 1753 .......

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!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2004) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

LOL! It works! OK all you math people, why does this formula work?! What is the significance of 2704- birth year?

Now cool!
7 x 2 = 14
14 + 5 = 19
19 x 50 = 950
950 + 1754 = 2704
2704 - 1955 = 749

My son says it is one of those algorithms where no matter what number you plug in first, the last number comes out "right". He says "it's clever and I'm not dismissing it."

And it was right for me. Except that for #1 I had to use 9 - and I want/eat chocolate a WHOLE lot more than 9 times a week.
