Chocolate Maths!

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

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS


This is pretty cool. My kind of maths....

It takes less than a minute. (Depending on your maths ability!)
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 fewer 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 1759 ...
If you haven't, add 1758.




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 (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
