Here's our own little secret... it WORKED!
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


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.

I am always amazed at how this works. Someday someone will explain the trick to me.
