belle06 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Hi all Try this below quite freaky how 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!!!!!) Quote
dublinbay Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Worked for me!! Didn't think I was that old though!! Quote
Guest Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Woo hoo it worked for me too, that's really clever!! Quote
mundia Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Its just maths, honest! No I wont bore you with the calculation but there really is no mystery.. Sorry. Anyway how dare it suggest that I have to restrict my intake of chocolate to less than 10? Quote
Rea Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 You sound just like an old maths teacher I used to have mundia. And yes, it worked for me too. How amazing Quote
Guest Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 It really does work! a lovely distraction from my assignment on transitions so thank you Quote
hali Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) trust me i only ended up with a 2 digit number - was my age though Edited April 22, 2009 by hali Quote
