Your Age - by Chocolate!

[terri]

My mother sent me this.... It worked!

AGE BY CHOCOLATE

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

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. (for Sunday)

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 AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

That's cool. At first I thought it was wrong, but then I realized I already had my birthday this year :blushing:

 

[Meysha]

Cool. I though it was wrong too at first... but then I realised how old I am. hehehe

 

[Corry]

I must be doing something wrong.

 

[Corry]

Ok...nevermind...now I got it to work!

 

[terri]

I must be doing something wrong.

You must have lied about how much chocolate you really want!

 

[LilCujo]

That rocks..so does that mean I am 27 in chocolate years :scratch:

 

[graigdavis]

Dang, I dont feel 73.

 

[mentos_007]

[Andrea K]

haha that was cool...i htought it was funny the little remark after multiply by 50 (i hadnt read it until i had gotten my calculator :blushing: )

 

[Unimaxium]

I remember seeing one of these a few years ago (except not the same of course because it only worked in 2003).

It will work next year if you use 1756 and 1755 instead (sorry, been an engineer too long, had to work it out)

 

[Jeff Canes]

it did not work i can not be that damn old

 

[terri]

It will work next year if you use 1756 and 1755 instead (sorry, been an engineer too long, had to work it out)

Well sure, you can make it work every year by adjusting those numbers.

That part of the thread "THIS WILL ONLY WORK...." is part of the original joke, not something I added for intrigue. Just to clarify.
