Chocolate Calculater

[gibbo]

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway

-but the Cadbury Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHS


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! - NO CHEATING.
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 w.

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.


Can anyone get it to work for them?

I just had a terrifying thought:
Could you imagine future generations trying to trace their ancesters[us]. All our surnames could be Cadburys and them using a chocolate calculater to work out our birth dates:
Yeah maybe i just shouldnt have these "thought" moments:'(
