YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH





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!
 
OMG--that is too weird......I didn't think anyone knew my age.....

How did you do that?

That was very cool and it was spot on!
 
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.



That's the only way this can work
 
It would appear to always be off by a year

It's also the way it works.

If you enter 0 pieces and 1920 you'll get (0)89.

If you enter 9 pieces and 1920 you'll get 989.

I wonder how long it took the person who made this to make it...
 
Work but is off by 1 year.



Cool person develops these kinds of things
