My friends know I LOVE chocolates. I really do - Royce, Godiva, Hershey's Penguins, liqueur chocs, dark, semi-sweet, mocha, white chocolate and so on. Today, my dear friend Angela sent me this puzzle which CAN REALLY calculate your age - at least it accurately calculated mine! Try it and let me know how it works for you. Take care and have a day filled with chocolates! Cheers!



The Chocolate Calculator - FIND YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS

Don't tell me your age; you might probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!

This is pretty neat.

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 1760 .
If you haven't, add 1759.

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 (2010) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
