Your Age By Chocolate Math

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 y! ou 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 1755 ....
If you haven't, add 1754.

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 (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK

Not hard to see how this works...
hope I didn't spoil it for everyone i'm curious by nature and must know how all these things work.





x = number of chocs
y = year of birth

50(2x + 5) + 1755 -y =
100x + 250 + 1755 - y =
100x + 2005 - y

if age = current year - year of birth..

= 100x + age

doesn't work if your over 100 either.

change 1755 to 1756 and it'll work next year :signIwil:

DARK ONE ... you are so right :thanks:

I never was very good at algebra lol!

Hey, at least you can spell algebra... that's a start!

LOL, spelling is one of my strong points.
