Pretend the year is 1999 so this will work...OK!

Some Chocolate Math DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It only takes 30 seconds....... Work this out as you read. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (More than one but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold) 3. Add 5. (For Sunday) 4. Multiply it by 50. (Being a bit stupid) ...........I'll wait while you get the calculator................ 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1750. If you haven't, add 1749. 6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. (if you remember) SEE BELOW 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 second two digits are your age and it shows. THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2000) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. IMPRESSIVE ISN'T IT?
