Age by chocolate
Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but the Nestle Man will know!
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!
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 the number of times you really want to eat Chocolate (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.

Sambar 9.3Clem, I showed this to my wife, and she said to tell you that you are a bastard, amd there is no way she eats that much chocolate!
However I think you got it right the first time!
Keep up the good work!!!!!

Sambar 9.3P.S, she also said that there is no way she is that old!!!!!!
What really concerns me is that there is someone out there - running loose - with enough idle time on his mind to figure this out. It wasn't me, I just cut and pasted.
