YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH



Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie 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 1760 ..
If you haven't, add 1759..

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 (2010) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

It works no matter what number you choose first, I have done it several times choosing different numbers, depends on the week ya know! LOL

It didn't work for me the first time, but it was because I was having a blonde moment, lol! I re-did it and it does work, regardless of the number you choose at the beginning :)

Yeah that's what happened to me the first time too, because I had multiplied by 5, not 50 in the third step.
