Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a fib 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 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 LASTS

This is a really fun gag. Just goes to show what you can do with numbers. BTW, you can use this next year if you adjust the numbers in step 5 by 1.

The last time I saw this, it wasn't about chocolate, it was about se_! I guess you have to decide which of your passions is most enteretaining!
 
The first time I was trying to do it all in my head so it didnt work... (math is NOT my thing... LOL) 2nd try, I used a calculator and it worked!

So weird... Thanks for the game!
 
lol, it works for your birthday because you tell them the year you were born . same goes for the number of times for chocolate (ok, how many weirdos said less than 9?).
