Got this from a friend:
Your Age in Chocolate Math
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 wild!
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute so 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 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 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 (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND
WHILE IT LAST!!!
