Chocolates tells your age

    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 1757 .... If you haven't, add 1756.

    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!

    (Now it should work)

    the equation needs to be revised, yes? but a more pressing matter is that there is a vampire amongst us PA'ers!!!

    this equation wont work next year, or last year
    only this year... its logical

    and i figured out the maths =D just use some simple algebra
    let x=number of times u want chocolate
    y= year of birth

    and follow the steps, writing the equation, you will get:
    [50(2x+5)+1756]-y (if u havnt had ur Bday)
    =[100x+2006]-y

    if u dont get how it works from there. dont do highschool maths..

    bahh shouldnt even brought maths into here

    You are right, you need to change some numbers. Just add one to the 1756 :D

    I nvr eat chocolate, so this does not apply to me. Yet i lied and got my age right, still just another calculation, think i heard another version of it.

    o_O It's strange, this thing worked out perfectly fine for me but for others it didn't work...I'm one of the only few that did this correctly or what?

    There was a slight miscalculation in the original post, but it was corrected later.
    Therefore the later calculations are correct and the first few not :D
