chocolate age

tk was me!

If you are bored at work, try this. I have no idea why this works but it's fun. You need pen and paper.

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 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. (for Sunday)...

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, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

bewitched

Someone emailed me this but it sure wasn't about how often you eat chocolate! :twisted:

...until next year, that is, when you replace 1755/1754 with 1756/1755 and it works fine
