Try This

[dammit]

It worked for me. :happy: Who works all this stuff out?? :dizzy:

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

I think this has something to do with voodoo or such things.
Best to avoid this dark side of math unless you want to go insane trying to figure out the why of it.:dizzy:
It did give my age.
Curious of it works for anyone that has a 3 digit age. Perhaps BM will come back to answer that one.

I fell asleep at about the fourth step.

Any chance of working it out for me Pi? Born in '59.
