This is pretty clever. (Do we have a mathamatician in the clan who can tell us how it works?)

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
1756 ....
If you haven't, add 1755.





6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were
born.





You should have a three digit number




The first digit of this was the number of times you
really want to eat Chocolate
(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 (2006) IT WILL WORK

I always get freaked out by these but when you think about it it's so simple and logical!

Tried and it worked! How amazing it is!
In fact, it's pretty clear :
The only part of the result interesting us at this point are the last two digits :
(Any number x 2 + 5) is odd, and times 50 means that our two last digits are 50.
Adding 1755 you get 05 (or 1756 and you get 06).
So basically, you're making this substraction : (20)05-year of birth if your last anniversary was last year. Hopefully, this gives you your age :D

It was certainly clear for most of us, but I've to reply on the forum sometimes to make Tikkas happy :P.

Homework : what number should you add next year to make it work ?
