Only semi OT: your age in chocolate

Got this from a friend, and naturally thought of you all!


Subject: YOUR AGE IN CHOCOLATE


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)










  1. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

  2. Add 5













  1. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

  2. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 .... If you haven't, add 1755.















  1. 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 (2006) it will ever work, so spread it around while it lasts.


True as written.....but it will work EVERY year if you just add '1' to the

1756 or 1755 for each new year! :))

Mavia

I did this and it worked out! of course, anyone who loves chocolate will probably use "9" to start with., that's what I did.

Donna in S, Indiana - watching it rain some more for

3rd day in row!

Indiana here, too, and raining where I am for the 5th day in a row!!!! Although Friday didn't see much rain, it was *still* there.... I'm afraid to go into the basement of our 87 year old house, probably find a family of ducks making theirselves at home :D
