  • Chocolate Mathematics

    Got this in an email...

    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 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 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 IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

    What happens if I don't like chocolate?

    Tried it the first time and it said I was 75 years old!!! Then did it with a calculator and found out that I can no longer do math in my head, hehe. (got it right the 2nd time)
    Titanium is the new bling!

      It'll work every year as far as I can see. Just change the 1754, 1753 to 1755, 1754 next year.

        LET N = the number you picked
        Result after step 2: 2N
        Result after step 3: 2N+5
        step 4: 100N+250
        step 5: 100N + either 2004 or 2003
        step 6: either 2004 or 2003 -your birth year (equals your age) + 100N

        Pretty amazing!!

        (doesn't work if you're over 100 )

        (oh, and it'll work next year if you add 2005 or 2004 depending on your birthday)
