Your Age in Chocolate Math...

[Sheryl]

It really works..:-3



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!!!!!)

Betcha don't know how that works Sheryl. Why did I do that:-5 :-5 :-5

[Brownley]

Ohhh, thats freaky!

*wishes my brain didnt hurt so much from working how how that works* :-3

I have no idea how it works, math was never my strongest subject in school. But if you know how it works please tell. I like learning new stuff.

The next two numbers are…YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this: What makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If A B C D E F GH I J K L M N OP QR S T U V W X YZ Is represented as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26Then K - N - O - W - L - E - D - G - E = 11 + 14 +15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96% And H - A - R - D - W - O - R - K = 8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98% And A - T - T - I - T - U - D – E =1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100% But P - E - R - S - E - V - E - R - A - N - C - E is 16 + 5 + 18 + 19 + 5 + 22 + 5 + 18 + 1 + 14 + 3 + 5 = 131% So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Knowledge and Hard Work will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it’s Perseverance that will put you over the top.

Don't know how it works but it does!:)

Well, at first it did not work..but I found a math error on my part. Fixed it, and it worked.
