This is FUN!!I'm celebrating a birthday this week, and just happened to find this fun little game -- Your Age by Chocolate Math! -- over at Grampy and You. So have fun with me, and let's all play along. :-)
Don’t tell me your age; you might 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.
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 week).
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.
And for goodness' sake, have a FUN year!
Don't miss my giveaway of Julie & Julia!
Julia Child's birthday is also this week!!

That chocolate calculator is very cute. It is going around on a lot of blogs.
ReplyDeleteI will be posting a recipe from The White House 1887. Talk about Vintage.
Have a good weekend.
I'm looking forward to that White House recipe! :-) That even qualifies as an antique recipe. I love them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and accurate chocolate calculator! Thanks for sharing the fun! :)
