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 1756 ... 

   If  you haven't, add 1755. 














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 (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT  LASTS.

hey that really worked cool

You just completely blew my mind...that was awesome, thanks for sharing.


I wonder how someone came up with that.

It was someone that has just a little more spare time than we do.

Dude, This is too much power for any one man to have!

yup  it was right   how depressing lol  im freakin 43  :'( just kiddin  it worked great

Hope this doesn't spoil the riddle for anyone, but...fun, yes, complicated, not at all, a simple table is all.  The current year is 2006, subtract the year you were born and you get your age (depending on whether you were born before or after today).  This riddle simply adds 100 times the number of times a week you eat chocolate to the year 2006.  for example, you choose 1 day, it adds 100 to 2006 or 2106, choose 2, it adds 200 or 2206...when you subtract the year you were born, the first digit will always be the number you chose.  see table below (yes i work with numbers for a living ;))

# times eat                                   example

dude that really works. awesome. somebody had to be EXTREMELY boared when they came up with that. that is really cool. thanks for postin.

Aww man..you had to show us the table...I was about to put this guy up for the Fields Medal.

What ever you do, don't explain the Fobanaci sequence to us...that would just ruin our day.
