YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!
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!!!!!
It does work....i tried it with two different numbers and it worked both times. Hmm. I'm too lazy to really go into the math and try and figure it out, lol, but I had fun!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I like chocolate but don't crave it often, I gave a guesstimate and it worked!!! CRAZYNESS! (I don't wanna know the simple math, I love the magic!)
ReplyDeleteWhy think of age when you have yummy chocolates to drool over !!
ReplyDeleteCheers

I love the chocolate calculator! Yummy!
ReplyDeletemath can be delicious.
ReplyDeleteI used to LOVE chocolate but now I can take it or leave it. Still, your maths worked for me (even though I rarely eat it.
ReplyDeleteAnd no - there isn't something wrong with me (which is what most people say when I tell them I rarely eat chocolate). :0)
Cheers

I love chocolate...but I never eat it anymore because of the acid reflux. I would eat it everyday if I could.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post!!
I'm into math so I liked your post. I might use it sometime on my blog but I'll give you credit.

Yes this is very interesting ! This was actually an email circulation and the source is unknown.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun, although the age was wrong for mine. You have a fun blog going here. I will definitely tune in every now and then.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

ReplyDeleteWow it is yummy and nice calculation. Thank you for your all comments.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a classic, isn't it? I'm still not smart enough to figure it out.....
ReplyDeleteFun! Still, I'd rather eat chocolate than calculate it. ;) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI may have done the math wrong...but as it made me younger I think it's fantastic! I love things like this. Thank you for sharing this post with the Gallery of Favorites.
ReplyDeleteMy math must be similar to April's because I lost a few years. :)
