Here's something I've discovered on another site. I've had a quick look through all of the posts on this forum and couldn't see that it has been posted here before, but apologies if you have seen it before. Now, read on....
Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat.
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
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758.
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 (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

You only want to eat chocolate twice a week, Vulch? You lucky thing. I only had to read the title and I got a craving for it. ..0
Yes, Tom, it does work. :D

That's incredible! It tells you your age, and all you put in is a few numbers and the year you were born. It's a miracle! ..0

Speaking of chocolate, my daughter has just discovered the Tim Tams I hid in the fridge and is hoeing into them. She'd kill me if she knew I was telling you this. ;) Personally, I prefer Penguins.

Actually, Joan, I'm not particularly fond of chocolate. I would say that I only eat chocolate maybe once or twice a month but Tom's instructions were that it had to be more than once a week!
