Whoa, creepy

It calculates your age by how much you want chocolate!

Quote[/b] ]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 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 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

No more then 10? That is just not right...These questionaires are always interesting.

Starman,
Are you 16 and born in 1989? If so it worked for me?
 
It worked for me with every combination i could think of.

Yeah I used a pen and paper too.I think kids(and adults too)should stop using the calcalator so much.My parents always encouraged me to use my brain more than rely on machines,and I'm glad for that

I can't believe you guys are impressed by something so trivial to prove why it works.

result = (chocolate * 2 + 5) * 50 + 1754 - birth year
result = chocolate * 100 + 250 + 1754 - birth year
result = chocolate * 100 + 2004 - birth year

The *100 makes it so the chocolate is the first two numbers and the 2004/2005 - birth year gives you your age.

This is SIMPLE algebra and it doesn't work for people over 100 years old!
