YOUR AGE BY
Chocolate
MATH
This is pretty wild!
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute so 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 1756 .....
If you haven't, add 1755.
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 (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LAST!!!

You realise it's a umbers trick, try all the numbers 1 - 10 I bet they all end up as your age and guessed #

PRO TIP: THE "AGE" FUNCTION IS ONLY REALLY BASED ON TWO NUMBERS, BIRTH YEAR AND 1755 OR 1766. The times 50 is to ensure the chocolate number add to it pushes the number over the year of your birth so the result doesn't come out negative and mess up the last two digits.. The chocolate per week number only really determines the hundreds collumn. The reason it has to be 1<x<10 is you'd go out of range and the last two digits would no longer be right. Mash them together and fool people who arn't geeks like we are~

I was about to call foul since it gave me the wrong age, but then I went back and recalculated to make sure, and that's all it was. Perdy cool trick, though!
