CHOCOLATE MATH PUZZLE
I received this math puzzle recently and thought it was a lot of fun. Try it yourself and see what your results are. DON'T CHEAT - Finish all the questions before you look at the answer. It should only take a minute - Have Fun!YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
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. Now scroll down - you won't believe it!

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!!!!!)
I understand this is the only year (2006) this will ever work. - hmmmm. Puzzling, isn't it!
