After all the stress from the World Cup matches over the weekend I need a quiet start of the week. So I am going to be lazy posting what I saw at Dave's , which is just amazing!
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS
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 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 (2006) it will ever work, so spread it around while it lasts !!!

I've seen things like this before - but that work anytime. I've never seen THIS one before! It's AMAZING! But honestly... I would really rather have chocolate MORE than 10 times a week!
ReplyDeleteThese things boggle my mind! I took it and it came out right! It's like a cool magic trick!
ReplyDeleteSince I am mathematically challened, I somehow came out already having had my birthday this year. But it was right on everything else.
ReplyDeleteyah, I said I was going to share it :)
ReplyDeleteI knew chocolate was amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteAhh...I wonder how that kinda stuff works!?! I'm kind of ashamed of the first number (# of times a week I want chocolate) LOL
