YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS
Have a pencil & paper, or a calculator 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 1762
..
If you haven’t, add 1761..
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 (2012) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT
AROUND WHILE IT LASTS
