YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read ...




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 1755 .... If you haven't, add 1754.














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 (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT ROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

chocolate beer

Maybe I'm crazy but I'm pretty sure I read in the paper last night about a Double Expresso, Double caffeine, now get this: vodka. Neat.

Talk about a buzz.

I had Strawberry Schnapps and Mountain Dew on Saturday night. It was really good, and I had a sugar buzz for the whole night. I also didn't have a hangover even though I downed about 12 of them.

Unless I'm a complete math idiot, which is totally possible, it lied to me - last I checked, I'm not 42

where did I go wrong in my math~ I said 2 times, and I was born in 1983, had my birthday already

Yeah, I did the math and then realized that if she was born in 1983 and already had her b-day that would make my answer correct. Boy, do I feel stupid now. :)
