Topic: The Chocolate Calculator

Don't tell your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway
But the Cadbury/Hershey Man will know!
YOUR AGE BY THE MATH OF CHOCOLATE

This is pretty neat and It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
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 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 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.

Re: The Chocolate Calculator

Ok, so the math geek in me came out.
This will work on any given year. Use the exact same formula, but change #5.
Next year you would add 1759 or 1760, depending on whether you've had your birthday or not, in 2011 it would be 1760 or 1761.

You can actually pick whatever number of times you'd like chocolate (like 152), the only difference is your final number will have more digits. Using Roy as an example: 152x2+5x50+1758-1979=15229...Roy wants chocolate 152 times per week and...omigod! Roy really is 29!
