Chocolatey Maths...

This brain workout (with some smart alec tweaks) was in my inbox this morning:

YOUR AGE IN CHOCOLATE MATHS
Don't tell me your age; you would probably lie anyway - but Willy Wonka will know!

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 just one of those time wasters, it's a fun time waster!

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to
eat chocolate
(more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be realistic!)

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 (and say Happy Birthday!) ....

If you haven't, add 1755. (and be ready for the gifts to roll in!)

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. (no lying...I'll know!)

You should have a three digit number (if you don't...use your calculator silly!)


The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to eat chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
