Your age in chocolate maths
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS
It takes less than a minute
Work this out as you read ....
Be sure you don't read the bottom of this page until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun (or freaky)
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 be left with 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 !!!!!!!!!!
Apparently this is the only year (2006) that it will ever work,

Wrong - I was shown it last year. Might have had a miniscule change somewhere though.
The amusing thing is, it was at a maths conference, and we were told to hold up the answers once we'd finished. Of course the guy looked around with a smile on his face - said to me "You don't look it"
Only then were we told that we were showing how old we were.

I don't really like chocolate, so seeing as I had to want it more than once a week for this exercise I used 1.1 times a week.
I can only assume that it only works with whole numbers of 2 or more!
