Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood 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 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! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2006) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
hey that really worked cool
You just completely blew my mind...that was awesome, thanks for sharing.
I wonder how someone came up with that.

It was someone that has just a little more spare time than we do.
Dude, This is too much power for any one man to have!
yup it was right how depressing lol im freakin 43 :'( just kiddin it worked great
Hope this doesn't spoil the riddle for anyone, but...fun, yes, complicated, not at all, a simple table is all. The current year is 2006, subtract the year you were born and you get your age (depending on whether you were born before or after today). This riddle simply adds 100 times the number of times a week you eat chocolate to the year 2006. for example, you choose 1 day, it adds 100 to 2006 or 2106, choose 2, it adds 200 or 2206...when you subtract the year you were born, the first digit will always be the number you chose. see table below (yes i work with numbers for a living ;))
# times eat example
chocolate X2 +5 X50 +1756 year born times eat chocolate/age
1 2 7 350 2106 2005 101
2 4 9 450 2206 2005 201
3 6 11 550 2306 2005 301
4 8 13 650 2406 2005 401
5 10 15 750 2506 2005 501
6 12 17 850 2606 2005 601
7 14 19 950 2706 2005 701
8 16 21 1050 2806 2005 801
9 18 23 1150 2906 2005 901
10 20 25 1250 3006 2005 1001
dude that really works. awesome. somebody had to be EXTREMELY boared when they came up with that. that is really cool. thanks for postin.
Aww man..you had to show us the table...I was about to put this guy up for the Fields Medal.
What ever you do, don't explain the Fobanaci sequence to us...that would just ruin our day.
my teacher did that to us in class,it was cool!
