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!

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but fewer 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.

Oh my goodness, that is so cool. I am gonna have to use that on my blog. Wow! What if I change up the numbers? Interesting, but the thought makes my head hurt! Ha!
Glad I stopped by. Have a good Sunday!!

This is cool. But I just did one for 2004, it didn't work. They just change the number every year. and when you subtract the year you were born that totally does it. so in other words this goes around every year!
