Age Calculation by chocolate

[scottscorpion]

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway

-but the Hershey Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH


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 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758.





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!!!!!)

worked for me ....pretty cool

[Mopey.]

Hey it worked. Pretty cool.

[Rapture]

My number was 1016.

So it worked for me, kinda, just added an extra zero in there.

[Dave-The-Rave]

Hey it did work !!

(219)

[Fergus2k8]

Oh it actually worked!!

215

[Gizmo356]

ooooooh it worked nice :]

[Dave-The-Rave]

It wouldn't work if you gave the actual times you think of chocolate in a week..cause I actually either think of it zero times or one !!

[Behemoko]

I'd be surprised it worked if you didn't have to add the year you were born in there.

Mine was also correct, obviously.

[SamuraiClarke]

I LOVED these things, cousin always used to do it to me when I was young. Worked perfectly.

[bradloafley]

Hmm... i wasn't expecting that to work...

[Suley]

The first time I did it, it never worked. Next time I did it it worked.
That was so cool

[ProStréétMan!]

wow it worked

[Rapture]

I see how it works now. Pretty cool.

[SnakeDevil]

I'd be surprised it worked if you didn't have to add the year you were born in there.

Mine was also correct, obviously.

@ the people surprised by this getting their age correct.

[Kyaw]

So i take it is first two- 5 times
second two- 13 which is my age.

Eh...

[fuzzypumpkins]

[SnowHawk]

[AnotherRandom]

Got mine wrong it was out by a year 220

[TTPS3]

724 ... very weird!

[V3nom]

922 - Worked for me!

[Tyrien]

I don't really see how this is related to chocolate since only the first line asks you for anything chocolate related and it's basically saying "pick a number between one and 10).

Things like this have been around forever. Just abusing numbers. :]

Kinda loses a little suspense when it asks you to put in the year you were born, and then subtract this number if it's been your birthday this year, and one less if it has not been.
