Chocolate mathematics
TRY this exercise in chocolate math. It takes less than a minute to do. And be sure you don't scroll to the end until you've worked it out.
1. First, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (Try for more than once, but less than ten).
2. Multiply this number by two (just to be bold).
3. Add five (for Sunday).
4. Multiply by fifty.
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1752. If you haven't, add 1751.
6. Now subtract the four-digit year you were born in.
You should have a three-digit number.
The first digit of this was your original number (how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are your age. (Oh yes, they are!)
(This is the only year (2002) it will ever work)
