ClaireG Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just had this in an email from my Auntie. Does it work for you to?! Hi All, Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway -but the Hershey Man will know YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS 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 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. chocolate Calculator.

Geoid Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 For it to work, the amount you would like to have chocolate has to be more than 1 and less then 10, so only numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
