For fun:
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
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. (for Sunday)
4. Multiply it by 50 I’ll wait while you get the
calculator…………….
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755….
If you haven’t, add 1754 .
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!!!!!)

HEHhehehehe…..just stoppin by to say hey!!!! and give ya a HUG!!!
I got lost! I know my age isn’t 32!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is so wierd! It worked! I am so stunned right now….yikes!
Very very very cool!
WOW thats strange but yes it worked out…………..hugs………….
I did it with two different numbers of times I’d like to have chocolate, and they both came out right. Who takes the time to figure these things out? That’s what I’d like to know!
YUP!……………………………5 TIMES AWEEK…………………&………..YUP…………..LOL……….greg <><
yep
…i am amazed
Whoa! That’s freaky… So if I forget how old I am I can just do the chocolate test right?
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is right-on……………………….
Have a good nite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL that is so funny I do not get how that works but it does
Well, I pretty much grew up there, so there’s not that much cultural adjustment. If anything, I have to adjust to the US when I move back here (because I don’t see the US as being home, I see the Philippines as such).
Placement of women? Hmm…well, we have a Filipina for a President, she’s a woman. The playing field is a lot more level than previous years, but women are definitely seen as lesser beings than the males still. It’s sad. But that is changing.
That was fun and weird!
2 other gals in the office, and myself did our age by the chocolate math . We were puzzled how that works. It was fun to do and discuss. Blessings….
I love chocolate and will admitt my age to it any day!
It worked,my age (accurately) came out at FIFTY…..but there’s ONE FLAW in it. The test makes you answer “the number of times a week you want chocolate”(see question #1),and you HAVE to answer “more than one”. For me,the HONEST answer would be ZERO….
Wait a minute! I answered “ONE”!!!!!Let me do it again….
Okay,it came out to “50″ AGAIN. Hmmmm.
Very interesting……
This is cute,is it original with you? If so,would you grant me permission to e-mail it to myself and reprint it on my site?
Yep., it came out right. Thanks for all your prayers.
My birthday is comming up and I keep forgetting how old I will be and having to do the math…maybe this chocolate reminder will help me retain the facts! Its tough when you get old enough to forget your age.
Thanks for permission to reprint,and your OTHER comments,but I’m still wondering…..did YOU invent this? It’s pretty cool. I need to know who to give credit to,when I reprint it…..
Coming to you live from featured content today…congrats HEATHER………………….GOD BLESS……….this post was a great one indeed…………………….
the first number wasnt my #,but the 2 one was my age.
