CHOCOLATE MATHEMATICS
This is funny but true and 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 fun and unbelievable!
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to
have chocolate. (Try for 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 we'll wait while you get the calculator
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 that you were born. You should now
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!!!!!) THE YEAR 2002 IS
THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL WORK IN SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?
