I was given this recently from someone who pulled it from a parish bulletin.
If anyone has seen it before or knows where it came from, do let us know.
Your Age by Chocolate Math:
(Don't cheat by scrolling down first!)
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 1756; if you havn't add 1755.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
Finish: 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) that it will ever work, so tell your friends!
bty, it worked for me!
Don't you just love bulletin humor?
