On Lighter Side of Things

[Saint Nicholas]

In the day to day activities of our personal lives, compounded with our sometimes hot and heavy debates on this forum, I just wanted to share a bit of humor for a brief moment. Read below.

Love for all my brothers and sisters in Christ,

Nicholas.

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 wild!

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute so 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 LAST!!!

Excellenty Nick. Excellent. It worked

Considering I thought I like chocolate seven times a week, and then reconsidered that I actually only really wanted it three times, and I am sure if I only wanted it once, it would still give the right answer...that was cool.

Reminds me of those card tricks. Nice.


ps. You could have just asked. I'm fourty nine on January 6th...creek, creek, crooked walker....

So what happens if you don't like chocolate? I really don't like eating it.. maybe once a month!? haha Does that mean I dont get an age? hehe I'm ageless...

Cool! They have mathematics on computers now!

Does this work for Kraft Dinner and hotdogs too?
