Your age by chocolate

G'day! Thanks for returning!

 

Hi everyone,

This is interesting, simply because it works AND I tried 2 different numbers!!!!

Don’t tell me your age – you probably would tell a falsehood anyway — but Mr Cadbury will know!

 


  

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE

 

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 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!!!!!)

 

Apparently 2006 is the only year this party trick will ever work.

Have a great day!

    Don't worry, Andrea, your young and tender age is our little secret (oh, and the CIA's, and the FBI's, and ASIO's, and Google's...)

    This is bizarre. And I'm not telling anyone how often I want chocolate!
