I got a forward today via email. Nothing unusual, and I usually delete them. However, for some reason, I opened this one. Hmm. "Chocolate Math"? Sounds stupid, but it's just a few simple math problems. Waitaminute... it worked! So I checked with a couple other people, and yes, it does. Examine the steps, do some Googling, confirm my suspicions. Brilliantly simple, but still cool. Can you figure it out?
- Pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. Make sure it's more than once but less than 10.
- Multiply this number by 2
- Add 5.
- Multiply it by 50.
- If you've already had your birthday this year, add 1755. If you haven't, then add 1754.
- Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
- You should now have a three digit number.
- The first digit of this is your original number (how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
- The next two numbers are your age.
