Your Age by Chocolate

[Rescued One]

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 1754....If you haven't, add 1753 ......

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 (2004) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. : )

I have heard this before, but only this year? I didn't know that

 

[hannabl]

Worked! Only this year?

 

[LondonsBurning]

I did this too. Really creepy actually.

 

[Locket]

too cool

 

[Rescued One]

I think a mathematician might be able to adapt it for another year. That leaves me out!

 

[flywithchrist06]

that was cool

 

[mochagirl]

Hehe...fun. But I must say I want to have chocolate more than 9 times a week

 

[Topaz]

Okay, I answered it, and NOW can I have that chocolate....PLEASE!

[Writing4Jesus]

Whoa! that was so cool! AHH!

 

[Mashley]

I've done that before. I wonder who took the time to figure out a formula that would work for everybody. That would have taken a while.

 

[peggysue17]

thats cool

 

[xxRachaelxx]

thats cool

 

[equal-minded]

only this year? how's that work? i must've missed somethin' but i didn't see where the year comes into play...

my Granddad showed me something like that once...
pick an even number 1 through 10, double it, add 10, divide by 2, subtract the number you started with from the number you have and your answer is 5. works no matter what number you pick.

 

[bubblegirl23]

323 - that works.... cool!

 

[Froggy]

Very kool....Can I have chocolate now!!!!

 

[bball_luvr23]

Thats really cool! I have no idea who would spend time doing that, but I bet they used functions (we were doing them before break in math)

 

[bball_luvr23]

I figured out why it only works for this year!! It's the add 1754 part. If you want to figure it out for next year, it would be add 1755, and etc. So it can work, you just have to adjust it a little. And no, it didn't take me forever to find this. It's the only thing that would be easy to change.
