Don't tell me your age - it probably wouldn't be the truth anyway - but Cadbury 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 look at 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 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 the original number of 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!

Easy maths, but still a good one either way

EDIT: Also, its wrong in saying it only works for 2009. Do it a year later but increase the numbers in step 5 by 1 and it will work.

Also doesn't work if you are over 100

No, i won't

Anyway, sorry, got really bored and did an explanation on how it works (yes, i know im sad and sorry to break the surprise of how it works). If you don't want to see don't open the spoiler.

Start with 5 lets say. ill skip step 3 for now but come back to it. Multiply by 2 then by 50 (50*2=100). This makes 500 in this case. All this does is shift the 5 two decimal places to the left.

Now back to step 3. Add 5 (just call this part 5 as im splitting it up) then do the next step and multiply by 50 which gets 250. Add 1759 to this and it equals 2009 (2008 if you use 1758, but thats just so it shifts your age right otherwise anyone born on, lets say 2000, would be 9 years old but if you born in december of 2000, then you would be 8. Thats what that number does.

Then taking away the year you was born gets you your age (use 1990 this time and already had your birthday this year. So 2009-1990, still got it split up from the first part i explained, it equals 19, which would be right).

Then simply putting the first 2 parts together (500+19) gets you 519, which gives you the correct numbers.

(Note: The addition and taking away your birth year has no effect on the first part, working out how many days you have chocolate).

And that's it! If you understand it lol.
