Your Age In Chocolate
 
Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway -but the Hershey Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH


This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FI RST!
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 fewer 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 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758.





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 (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

I thought some of you ladies might enjoy this and, in the temporary absence of Mr. Bangleman, it seemed a nice bit of trivia to pass the time. No idea why/how it works.

Damn... I thought the 3 figure number would be the number of cadburys chocs I could eat daily without putting on weight.... totally senseless therefore :p

Mrs RK works on the principle that white chocolate cancels out the milk chocolate calories.

She would have answered herself but she can't get passed the fewking kitchen door!
