 Posted: 05/18/04 - 09:56 Post subject: Chocolate Math
I got this email today, it's kinda neat:
CHOCOLATE MATHEMATICS
This is pretty neat how it works out.
This is cool 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. (try for more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)
3. Add 5. (for Sunday)
4. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the calculator................
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1754.... If you haven't, add 1753 ......
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 IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Thats my favorite line in these....the year you are born doesn't change so why would this be the case? 1754 is 250 less than 2004 which offsets the +5 times 50.
long story short the math is, 100 times your number, plus your age.

Maybe, maybe not...
