28 Apr 05 - 08:01 PM (#1473771) Subject: BS: Your age by chocolate From: Rustic Rebel This was mailed to me today and it's a mathmatic game that only will work this year. It worked for me and I thought I'd share... Subject: your age by chocolate YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH get a calculator 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. (for Sunday) 4.. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the calculator................ 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755.... If you haven't, add 1754 .... 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! Peace, Rustic |

29 Apr 05 - 04:15 PM (#1474510) Subject: RE: BS: Your age by chocolate From: Bev and Jerry Well, we hate to take the fun out of this but here's how it works. Step 1. Put in any number between 1 and 10. Could be the number times you would like to have chocolate in a week, number of times you would like to have sex, number of sessions you go to, anything. Call it N. Step 2. Now you have 2N Step 3. Now you have 2N + 5 Step 4. Now you have 100N + 250 Step 5. Now you have 100N + 2005 (or 2004 if you haven't had your B'day) Step 6. Now you have 100N + 2005 minus year you were born which is 100N + your age So, unless your 100 years old, this appears as NXY where XY is your age. Not so mysterious, is it. Bev and Jerry |

29 Apr 05 - 04:58 PM (#1474540) Subject: RE: BS: Your age by chocolate From: *Laura* It's ok - the formula hasn't ruined it for me. I did maths for nearly twelve years and still din't understand algebra - but I haven't found a practical use for it since leaving school so it's all good! :o) xLx |

30 Apr 05 - 02:24 PM (#1475110) Subject: RE: BS: Your age by chocolate From: SharonA Hey, wait a sec! Nobody said the number (of times a week I want chocolate) had to be a whole number!! I used 9.9999, which resulted in the chocolate-number being rounded up to 10 but my age being reduced by .01 (which is fine by me -- every little bit helps!). |
