Chocolate Maths

OK, just received this via email - which usually I detest, but I like this one, probably because it's about chocolate. Give it a go and see if it works for you like it did with me. Go on.......


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, right.......

And the first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week) and the next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!). This apparently works for this year (2006) only.
