CHOCOLATE MATHEMATICS

This is pretty neat how it works out.
This is cool chocolate math!!!!!!!
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute.......
Grab your calculator and 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. (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 I'll wait while you get the
calculator................

5. If you have already had your birthday this year
add 1754.... If you haven't, add 1753 .......

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 IT WILL EVER WORK, SO
SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Hi Laura,

Where did I err? No, mmmhhhoooom; I did not get it correct? You know why; You should first understand that completed years count, not the running year of Age.

My daughter (16) used to tell me about this sort of fun, and make me laugh untill I learn the Maths (I am poor in maths toooooooooooooo!)

Havn't seen you for long, now a ring is created at this place - http://www.webproworld.com/viewtopic...7679&start=875

Sorry fellas I have to respectfully disagree! With so few things in life certain, I find math comforting. There is a right answer and a wrong answer. History can be argued, science can be tainted, spelling can be regional, BUT MATH, ahh, with math there is but one answer.

Is that not a comforting thought?

Laura, that's why it is most discomforting for me! You now know I am weeeeeeeeeeeek in maths! You can't tell a lie and change the track; nor you can find a regional/ national difference.
