Don't tell me your age; you probably would lie anyway - but the Hershey Man will know!

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).
.
.
.
.
.
.








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 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.

very cool.

It's got to be magic ....or maybe algebra?

btw, it actually will work every year as long as you bump up the 1755/1754 numbers by 1 each year.

Cool indeed. I am translating it to Portuguese already
I have some friends who will love it.
