It's something to do

Postby flyboy 28 » Fri Jun 30, 2006 8:27 pm

And I'm bored. :P

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway--but the Hershey Man will know!

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.

Simple math I know, but still neat. :)

I remember it too. As I said then, I am mathematically impaired, so things like this just blow my mind. :P

If you're not 61 then obviousely you did something wrong. I advise that you try again. ;)
