It works!

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 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 (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.

(ps mine was 721 - believe that, you'll believe anything!)

It worked for me... I'm sending it on to my sister!

Nice ! I forwarded that to my friend at work, Adelaine, she LOVES chocolate! She loved it.

i think the 1758 and 1759 are the key numbers to making it work only this year. in another year, you'd need new numbers, but i can't figure out which ones.

and there's an easter bunny, too :roll:

Of course there is! AND a Santa Claus!

:D :D This was fun butterflywing!

:lol: :lol: That was fun...

750. Dead on. Apparently it doesn't work if you tell the truth... I want chocolate 20 times a week!!!

isn't it amazing? and i agree about the chocolate :oops:

Hans told me how it works!

That is so cool! I will send to my quilting buddies they will get a chuckle out of this one! Thanks for sending it along.

It works!

actually, i meant hans was a spoilsport for not telling how it works and why only this year.

It will work every year - the number just has to be changed! if everyone wants to know how it works I could post but otherwise PM me!

Yes, just did it for Joey who was 7 yesterday - came out 107!
